The review wehave been promising is up
Audiotroy is no different than a tas or stereophile reviewer. Have you ever read a post from audiotroy on a product they sell or a review from tas/stereophile that wasn’t the best product ever made? I gave up on the trade mags for this very reason, not every product reviewed is the best of the best. Same goes for audiotroy, of course what they sell is always going to be the best, but they shouldn’t be able to try selling their goods in agon forums like this and they do all the time. |
Troy at least makes no bones about the fact that he is a salesman. I prefer that to others who shill for a product and don’t reveal that they have a financial interest. MC, anyone? And Troy occasionally puts in a good word for products that he doesn’t sell. I stopped reading TAS when they became shameless hucksters for MQA |
There's nothing in the A'gon TOS that prevents dealers, distributors, or manufacturers from posting here. In fact, many do, and Audiotroy is among those who identify themselves accordingly. So I don't understand your complaint or for whom you pretend to speak. |
In my opinion the difference is that dealers/manufacturers like Duke, Verdant, and Atmasphere seem to be objective and don't always push their products on members. They offer genuine assistance, even if it means steering you down a different road. All I ever see from @audiotroy are infomercials. It is possible to straddle that fine line between audio enthusiast and audio seller. Some here show us on a regular basis how it's done.
