Thirty Days in the Hole

“ MC has been a sort of consigliere for me. Let me tell you what I bought with MC's advice and recommendations: A lot/most of Townshend Audio Seismics and cables. And their preamp.“

Shilling mission accomplished then ! Did he mention to you that he was on Townshend Audio’s payroll at the time ? No of course he didn’t 

That Newcastle Brown must have been stronger in the old days, my favorite IPAs are almost double the ABV and 2 "will sure knock you (me) down"

Gov't Mule covers are always tasty.

If you've interacted with MC and had a negative experience with him and you are happy to leave that's not being a hater.  That's having good boundaries and expecting others to behave civilly.

Stop victim blaming. 

      I concur!!

but there is an important distinction to be made... the main site lists items for sale and it for business transactions, but the forum does not, it is a place for discussion... they are adjacent and related, but separate...

I’m not so sure that the administration views the distinction as clear cut as you for reasons of their own..

"Did he mention to you that he was on Townshend Audio’s payroll at the time ? No of course he didn’t".

Yes, he did. I know all about his connection to Townshend. And I bought directly from Townshend. Don’t you feel silly now?

But that had nothing to do with my purchases. I was looking to upgrade my system’s loom, put in springs and get a separate preamp for 2 channel(as I was using a HT processor pre for 2 channel) and I read all the reviews I could find of all Townshend products including the Allegri Reference, F-1 Fractal cables, speaker podiums, t.t. platforms and pods. And the reverence for Max Townshend(RIP) and his technologies was a factor as well.

The F-1 Fractal speaker cables and interconnect sound fantastic. Quite the upgrade.

Someone I know bought the speaker podiums and told me the difference was huge and the most incredible change to his system he experienced, and brought his system up to "high end".. And this guy knows his sonics.

So, all is good with my system.
