Samuel, it is important, reading my self-obsessive rage about the industry, do not take the things out of perspective. I never called the Audio Industry as a mafia. Mafia is a well organized and perfectly sane operation that subordinated to a purpose and intend. The Audio Industry is NOT purposeful or resolute organization and to call it mafia would be to extent too much credit to the Audio Industry.
It seems for me that selling stolen cables speaker on audiogon is quite a criminal act, by the way have you notice that all the reviewers that encense wilson own personnaly wilson speakers? maybe just a coincidence.

There is a huge space. The Mike Lavigne types is all about the syndrome of just brutally raped women who asked to read a lecture about discrimination of male coworkers at their work place. She kind of understands that her person experiences are not indicative, at least for the subject of the lecture, but she can not help it.
Just the problem is that he buys all his equipement from the owner of the evolution acoustics who is also a dealer for dartzeel, emm labs etc... and can't stop saying in any thread in audiogon that these products are the best of the best bla bla bla : i don't see a victim here, i see a conniving or a kind of associate -what a man can do for better price when buing his own equipement...-

“Interesting to listen?” That is a loaded comment. Speakers do not have own sound. You're sure of it?! i 'm not ...The Sound of loudspeakers is not what they produce but what we hear. In this context the “interesting to listen” category more describes your listening intents then a capacity of a given acoustic system….

Samuel, I do not provide recommendations regarding the navigation in the audio swamp, there are many reasons why. As an experience person, I might assure that anything worthy in this subject you will discover from within. I can understand that...

Why don’t you use the listening techniques that have been employing for years and that I call the “Lenin’s techniques”? I do not know how true it is – I heard that story in my childhood and it very much might be a BS as anything else was told about Lenin in my childhood. However those “Lenin’s techniques” are the techniques that I widely employ in audio assessments.
Vladimir Lenin spoke 20 or so languages but did not speak Greek (for instance). Once he was informed that one of his articles was translated to Greek and the publisher sent him a copy to confirm if the translation was done accurately. Lenin know however, that when he wrote the original article then in his manuscript he screwed up some numbers, referring to a year of a famous historical event and it was consequentially reprinted in many other languages with wrong numbers. Lenin took the Greek translation, glanced to the referring year, which was corrected, and reply to the publisher: “The translation was made accurately”. In this little story I recognize in hidden the core of proper audio assessment…. Good story. I love stories with communism leader i don't know why....
