I still feel as his content has great value and could care less if he is trying to make a dollar. If he is honest about his reviews that’s all I care about. So far the gear that I have purchased on his recommendation has been stellar. I will let you know how the Billie stacks up ones I get one in house.

The essential points have already been well made. @ghasley ’s point is spot on. The SEC is publicly going after social media influencer investment “advisors” for their pump and dump schemes…as someone who works in that space, I am continually shocked at who and what people believe. This is audio, the stakes are much lower and the reality is there’s a lot of good gear out there. So if someone buys off a poorly credentialed “reviewer’s” recommendation, odds are they are not going to receive a heap of junk…but if they’re buying largely based on an influencer’s showmanship (or even this forum), they’re probably not doing as well as they could be doing, for their taste and budget. That said, not everyone has the time, the patience or the crazy to serially home demo gear (lol I cop to a higher than avg crazy level)…so with the rise of internet hifi shucksters, ironically the best thing may be to find a dealer you can trust, who cares about your long term happiness and isn’t going to oversell you (or undersell you!) |
it’s funny, and rather frightening... that a dude who churns out the ’next greatest thing he’s heard’ twice a month gets views, sways opinion, and more importantly, seemingly impacts buyer behavior... more social media churn, relentless internet ’info’ blasts... people really need to stop and think ... oh wait, don’t we realize that this daily onslaught and barrage is meant specifically to prevent that... 🤣 |
Interesting….as they say opinions are worth what you pay for them.
British Audiophile bores me to tears. I can’t make it through his reviews. We have different taste, for certain.
I’ve been fortunate enough to call Heaven11 and happened to get him when I called the company and spoken to Iti (sp?) when he picked up the phone.
Let me say he’s forgotten more than any 10 people here know about audio.
