My last post on this thread

To those wondering why this guy, music_4321, is doing all of this, and even looking pretty ridiculous/ stupid here's few words:

Our 'new' friend here, Xeon [09], is NOT really a new member but is banned member Voltag3, who was banned from head-fi some 2/3 months ago and is only 17 years old.

After the ban he's used fake IP addresses to create 9 different user accounts, the last of which is Xeon [09] -- the other 8 were: StereoX7521, [ Hydro ], DJ AudioPhile, -[ DanieL ]-, -| PerfectioN |-, IDeIMoIN, LegenDz, - Xtreme | Fidelity -

I (and posibly others) have reported at least 6/7 of said fake accounts and those new members were soon banned. However, seeing he'd been caught every single time, this time round he started to pretend he'd never owned any IEM's or full-sized headphones to make it a little more difficult for others to spot his lies, inconsistent posts and usual antics. He's tried different tactics and been caught EVERY single time.

How do I know it is indeed 100% Voltag3? I won't give details as he'll no doubt be back again perfecting his fake identities. He's got a little better at it and a few head-fiers who knew Voltag3 have not recognised him, specially the last 2/3 fake accounts he's used.

Some people have been upset and called me names and so on for treating a seeming new member like here on this thread until they saw the new member in question had been banned and turned out to be indeed Voltag3. Voltag3, through some of his fake accounts, would call me a stalker. Some fellow head-fiers kind of apologised, others didn't. It hasn't been pleasant for me to sometimes look like an immature obsessed idiot.

Why am I doing this?

It'd be far too simple to say it's because he has a rather sick love/ obsession for his SE530's and I was less than impressed when I had my own set. If that really was the case I'd be going round every single thread where the SE530's are being mentioned and do my anti-SE530 routine there. In fact I stopped engaging with Voltag3 quite some time before he got banned. He'd bump his own threads for no reason other than just being seen again and have a higher post count. He'd start endless threads to do with the SE530's - there's more on that front but enough of that.

So, why am I doing this?

Mainly because he constantly misled genuine new members who were asking for genuine advise and always pursued his own SE530 agenda, ie getting them to buy the SE530's (or at times other gear) by posting non-stop until reaching a high post count to gain some credibility among new unsuspecting members. He'd use lots of jargon to sound like an expert - he'd just read lots of stuff on different threads/ websites often doing the usual copying & pasting, but he used that so much that he actually began to memorise some of the technical stuff, seeming less like cut & paste and more like he knew what he was talking about.

He'd often put down other gear (mostly IEM's) he'd never even tried but said he had. On some of his fake accounts he even created impressive sigs with plenty of IEM's, headphones & amps he said he owned. As voltag3 he often boasted he'd get soon get the ES3X, then it was the HD800's, lately the JH13's. Of course he never even bought a cheap portable amp.

He upset many people round here (not just me) and openly laughed at internet forums and laughed at the fact that people could ever react to anything said on-line. So, for him places like head-fi (online forums) meant anything goes - who cares as long as no one really knows who you are, you can pretend to be whoever you want.

Some new members would be very grateful that such an experienced and knowledgeable head-fier would devote so much of his time answering all their newbie questions. That became like a drug to him - "Wow, look what I can do (get them to buy the SE530's or other gear, or dissuade them from this or that) and all these newbies ever so grateful!!" He got better at it, but some of us who knew what he was doing were not amused. His misleading game didn't last that long and he was then banned. His SE530 fanboyism lasted much longer, though. The fact is that most experienced & reputable members of head-fi will not even bother to look at such new threads started by newbies asking for recommendations or comparisons.

So, this is my last post here. If anybody has anything to say about this post or the previous ones, better do it via PM. BTW, yesterday I got a PM from Voltag3 (Xeon [09]) asking innocently why I called him Uniqu3 - I didn't reply.

Is coherence in soundstage a problem with the triple fi as well?"
