I think after reading thru all this I am mostly just impressed by the Cat. I am not sure my Dog could get thru garden hose.

This is EXACTLY the sort of thing that I'm talking about. Back door deals like this have the potential to kill this forum. How we can't be sure that the advice we're receiving from you isn't motivated by your commission? You have been a loud defender of high end cables for a while. Now I know why.
How many posters here are on the take?
Disgusted

I'm sorry pal, but your credibility is hovering right around zero right now. Why should I believe you kept your fingers out of this test when you've been paying commissions to forum members to steer people to your products? How many posters here do you have working for you?
See ya

You've been working on a commission basis and you have accepted freebies. You're done, man. Pack it up.

I think they have "Member of the Trade" designation for that.

Most definitely!  Made me laugh.
Funny thing though, there is a cable manufacturer that puts a sheath of vinyl filled with water around their cables. I forget who makes it, but it's supposed to be just another method of filtering. Some use a negative voltage, some use water, some use ferrite beads.... the stuff by Machina Dynamica, well that's just stupid.

If a product is good, I recommend it. If a product isn't good, I don't. End of story. I was telling people about their product way before I received any product credit from them.
I went through all of this yesterday and all of my replies are already in the posts. I'm not going to repeat it again, especially with you Steve.
If it's against TOS (which apparently it is), then it won't happen again without me first making note of it in my signature or profile like Monkey suggested. I have never kept ANYTHING secret from this forum and for you to imply that I have (or have recommended a product that I don't believe in) is not only insulting but tantamount to slander.

Since you received payment from Virtual Dynamics for your referral services you should register as a member of the trade according to the terms of use of this site. There won't be an end of story until you do that.
See ya

You don't have to read it, but he has every right to post. Besides, some are entertained by hearing him plead his case er, dig himself deeper.

I'm lucky, I don't have that problem because my credibility has always been zero. Building up credibility is like climbing up a skyscraper, eventually you reach the top and if the wind doesn't blow you off someone else will. It will be messy.
I wish I had known about commission 3 years ago when I first bought my Nordost Valhalla cables, then I would have wired my whole apartment with that cable! I guess I have been raving for nothing. Nordost doesn't even know I exist.
If I start taking commision from Virtual Dynamics then only two things can happen: 1) I will not stop until I have enough Genesis wiring between my house and the nuclear power plant. 2) They will lock me up before I could finish the tweak.
