When TV commentators speak about a certain stock as a good buy, they must tell you if they own any of that stock, right? To disclose if they might stand to profit from you relying on their advice. Well I think Head-Fi needs the same policy. I mean it’s pretty obvious that some of you are making money off us poorly informed people like me.
One of our members must be getting a dollar or something everytime the words German Maestro are used. Heck, I didn’t even know those were headphones. I thought German Maestros were guys like Beethoven and Wagner. He’s surely getting a kickback from their marketing department. This isn’t fair, is it?
When a thread starts with what’s the best headphone for xxx genre, there’s a certain member that always says K701. I don’t care if it’s midget ambio-technic dance psychedelia, it’s K701. Know what I mean? Wonder how much he’s worth now.
And there’s that guy from (I guess I better not out him, but I think the capitol is Manila) who must get some cash everytime he posts the words Grado SR60.
And that guy who’s gotta have a huge stash of DT48’s that he probably offers for sale on our f/s forum or the bay right after he posts a thread telling me they are the most accurate headphones ever made even though they’re older than my grandpa. I feel I’m being manipulated, and it’s not fair.
And lets not forget that rich asian-newzelander who no doubt is getting some deutschmarks everytime she gets one of us to upgrade our perfectly good DT880s for those ones with the 600 ohms. Jeez, they could actually be only 450 ohms for all I know. They likely had to cut back on those ohms things to pay her a commission, you know?
Do you think this is fair? Have any of you noticed this type of activity going on here on Head-Fi? Anyone else I should be aware of? Wait a minute… you guys are probably in on it too
