Obviously as pointed out by another member, I had previously mentioned it on Head-Fi. Do you feel it necessary for me to post that in every single thread about Virtual Dynamics cables? If not, what would be the proper thread to mention that in? Was the thread I mentioned it in not a proper place to do so? Or should I start a thread specifically to outline the details of my dealings with Virtual Dynamics? (I'm not being sarcastic here, just trying to give an honest reply and asking for the proper answer.)
If your getting commissions from anyone, that makes you at least an independent contractor for the company giving you commissions. If that company is an audio company, IMO that makes you a MOT by my interpretations of the rules of use. So no, you shouldn't have to post it in every thread. You just register as an MOT and it shows up in every post.
What utter BS. That "reviewer" sounds like an idiot. IMO :-)
I guess you checked the posting date of the article.
It looks like that article was directed at this thread from the build of those cables, and the kitten attack reference. I just want to know where I can get a pair!

"The cabling itself is a technology licensed from a German aerospace firm called Gaurdenhose Polyimeplastic. This tech enables the blend of several different plastics with audiophile particles in order to make the best sound isolation within the cable. But this also lends to a very durable build quality that will fend off any kitten attack."
"Music just came to life and basically as the liquid technology suggests, it just swam, moved, flowed and grooved. Its really hard to describe the realism of this cable and how it brings music to life; it is something that needs to be witnessed. Are they worth the $3000 price tag? Simply, yes."
LMAO. I have never worked for Virtual Dynamics. Matt Carter e-mailed me privately OUTSIDE OF HEAD-FI and told me that he would give me 10% commission on any orders that resulted from customers I sent their way.
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.
I realize that just having my word on it isn't gonna be good anough for anyone, it wouldn't be good enough for me... Which is why we are putting in the money and time to have them tested by a third party (which doesn't mean we are paying to have them tested... the testing is being done for free, the money is the investment of materials, shipping, plane tickets to go down and film the results, ect.)
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?
