Trelja, you say, "We are the "others" you talk about." Obviously, not. You speak only for yourself.
You say, "Ray Charles would have no trouble reading into "the importer's unwillingness to put a pair out for review" when it comes to you writing them up." Obviously, you have no knowledge about this. As I have said before SoundStage knew about Brian Ackerman wanting me to do a review but being unwilling at the time to dedicate a pair for review. Ask him and for the first time have some knowledge about this. You say you have had plenty of off line correspondence. So have I, much of it asking about my opinions of the Tidals and to ignore Bill Feil. No one mentioned you at all.
You say, "Let's not try to revise history, that episode precipiated your firing from the reviewing position." I agree that we should not seek to revise history. My review of the Tidal speakers had nothing to do with my stent at reviewing with SoundStage ending. It was my posting on Audiogon that caused it, in particular a comment about Gryphon amps. I had informed SoundStage that I posted often on AudioAsylum and Audiogon. They were not pleased, but took me on as a reviewer.
You say, "In other words, what you bring the discussion in terms of how you've obtained the product, and its corollary, what the truth actually is." I really don't know what this means, but suspect you mean that because of what you think happened with Tidal, that my personal experiences are invalid. I can say little about this twisted logic, except that it does you a disservice if anyone previously valued your opinions.
Again, you offer little other than snide remarks and your limited perspective with no evidence that you are even close to knowing what happened. Why, I don't know. Perhaps you sell these gold cables?
