Post Subject: Worthless Part IIPosted by Stitch on: 10/13/2013

In the last 10 years I had some chances to visit owners with very expensive Systems (>500.000,-- $) and all they had the same in common: Absolutely no idea about real High End or Music reproduction and I mean non, nada, nothing, they went to a dealer will the strong idea to spend 100K, to get a serious rebate and all of them wanted to be taken serious in an audiophile community (their home is what's Best Forum where they offer their brainless comments and congratulate each other when someone bought something stupid-expensive-cancer-sound-unit, the ultra Stupido thread there is the ML3 thread with its brain cancer "recommendations"Tube amps with low efficiency speakers, no problem, ask WBF and when it is expensive enough, it is a top match...). Also, they are all very, very thin skinned when someone rates their hyped stuff negative. Btw. same way for Turntables, Cartridges, Phonostages, Arm geometry...ever made a simple Speed Test? 33,333 / 45 with Sutherland Timeline?? 80% fail...

Example: The 10"+12" Graham Arm is wrong in its geometry and such an owner prostituted himself as an proud audiophile of that rare units who heard things :-) he never heard before, with all the typical moron applause and the conveyor of news who gave the advice about that wrong alignment got hate until the rest of his days. And, of course, those Stupidos write, that this conveyor of news has a personal problem with the manufacturer..Triplanar 12" has the same "problem" btw.

Anyway, but even those wealthy desperate want something like a report, a review, something where they think they can rely on, something which is taken serious in that "community".

Any they get it of course. They want the report that they can listen better because they can spend more money. That's the background. Nothing more. Dealers live from that btw. They would die when they would sell you the final tonearm...what's next? The Stupido who bought it 2 years ago without any knowledge is ready again to give some money for being king of the hill. Again...

You find the same route when you get in touch with EMT-Garrard-Shindo-Linn-Raven-Koetsu-and so on-owners, they wrap you with their stupidness and they win based on majority ... the intelligent will fail in this business.

Btw. I think the ML3 is a good sounding amp :-)
