Cables, Power, Tweaks, Speakers, Accessories (DBT-Free Forum)Discussion of cables, power (the electric kind), tweaks, & accessories. I, Objectivist: The Objectivist Audio
Forum (opening soon)If you feel the uncontrollable urge to use the word "placebo," in
here is where you'll post (and only here). Discuss DBT all you want in
here.
This type of activity (being solicited by PM from a vendor or manufacturer) is against the TOU and is a bannable offense. It fits right in with signing in under another username after being banned, as Acoustic Chef did.
If solicitations were OK, every MOT would be filling your inbox with PM's faster than a bunch of pigeons jumping on a crust of bread dropped by a person eating a sandwich in the park.
It just keeps getting better

Since you apparently aren't aware of it, Acoustic Chef is back and he's still shilling under at least two new usernames. I'll let you know what they are if you're interested.
See ya

The problem is, even if it's free snake oil, it's still snake oil.
The bigger problem is, how can we trust the reviews of other posters if they're receiving "free gifts" as a "courtesy" to "help" them write [positive] reviews of the product. This is basically an attempt to plant shills in the board, and it seems to be working. Many of the positive reviews of VD products in this group appear to be from people who never paid for the wires they're reviewing.
I don't mind that so long as they have to return them. And when what's happening is above board. Skylab sent his iBasso T2 to a number of people, with the provision that they had to post their impressions in the thread that was started for that purpose. I was one of the people who got the amp and I was happy to participate. And I gave it a mediocre review It finally convinced me that I don't want a portable amp.
