Michael,

The operative word in your response is ' imply'. I can now assure you that there was no such implication. As you can see from my post, there was no direct reference to a company or particular individual ââ'¬â€œ it was a general or shall I say, speculative comment based on the fervour with which some 'believers' were making their comments and the brow-beating of some of the cable spectics by some of the 'believers' on the forum. But you have revealed something here which I wasn't even aware of which is that there are several cable manufacturers, dealers or even distributors participating on this forum. Before your comment I was aware of just one, WM, who I must say, does not promote his products on the forum (well not that I have seen anyway).

So if there are other cable manufacturers, distributors & dealers on the board, are they a secret or is there a list showing who these individuals are? Aren't manufacturers, distributors & dealers of hifi gear supposed to indicate their status somewhere (perhaps in their signatures) so that us non-audio professionals know who we are conversing or even arguing with? A list containing the names of these individuals would be useful (similar to Audio Asylum where these 'professionals' have to declare their status). I must say though that if what you say is right, it does help explain a lot. 

 

Btw, I believe that a forum that emcompasses all views be they positive or negative, sceptic or non-sceptic is a healthy and engaging forum. If all football supporters supported just one football team, then the atmostphere at matches would be very boring indeed.

Enjoy the music,

Lawrie.
