I am no marketing rep of AR,,,,

Posted by hotbird on March 24, 2008 at 17:29:52:
Frankly I am no representative of AR, but I am an ardent tweaker, and been infatuated with all tweaks particularly from Japan. Acoustic Revive is merely one of the many tweak brands that is offered from Japan, there are so many there if you ever travel to Japan. However, it is among the most reputable one over there, offering to present scientific explanations for their gadgets whereas most often do not. I currently own about 2/3 of their tweaks in their catalog, the exception being their cables as I like Acrolink more. I discovered this brand not in Japan, but in Thailand, when I was looking around at their hifi centre a few years ago. Unlike you, I don't question too much into the science behind how they work, and respect and accept the explanation given by them on their website. It is sad that you use your expertise and knowledge to bully people into thinking that you know more than AR does. I have already shown that you once sold the AR products you now disparage, and in addition your SO even praised one of the product as an excellent electrical tweak but you now say it is the only one you like but it was unsellable. (The fact that you discovered these immeidately after our debate on the RR-77 is only too coincidental) I then went to explain that not every company like yours think AR makes colored products, and offered Oyaide as an example. But then you say they make different things. Of course you choose to miss the fact that Oyaide does make different plugs that can affect how the sound tone is reproduced, ever compared their gold plugs against their rhodium/copper/palladium. Where do you think their different tone comes from, with copper berrylium being their most neutral. Remember your advice "I search for musical truth and accuracy and don't like coloration products" ;-). In addition, the "science" behind your PE tweaks is also questioned by others like Occam and Art at Audiocircle as marketing hype too, so don't let the kettle call the pot black ;-)
Btw, if you like to delete your threads, I will too... I have no wish laying this out in the open.
