In another recent post where Jim Austin was trying to mitigate damages on your behalf, he made it clear 3 times that "high-end" audio including your endorsements are subjective. If (and it is) true, then surely we're entitled to be equally subjective of your subjective endorsements, right?IOW, isn't it funny, you trying to hold others accountable for their words when those same others have been trying to hold you accountable for your words?
C'mon, John. After 3 full years you and your minion Jim Austin are only now attempting to qualify your outta' this world performance endorsement for MQA? Where were you for the past 3 years while MQA has been gaining some type of foothold (with your help) in the music industry? And now amidst much controversy over the performance value of MQA and your endorsement, here you are suddenly attempting to downplay your outlandish kid-in-a-candy-store endorsements.
I recall in a previous MQA thread about a month ago, you attempted to blame others (including Charles Hansen) for potential wrongdoing that some of us thought you yourself may already be guilty of and yet in other threads attempted to label me a troll.
Frankly, I think you've got a lot of nerve trying to blame others for misinterpreting or holding you to your endorsements. After all, this is supposed to be a "high-end" audio industry, where "high-end" implies performance even to a 10-year old and performance pertains to audio or more specifically, playback audio. Hence, everybody reading your nonsensical endorsements has a right to assume that when you don't qualify your endorsements, you are speaking first and foremost of audio performance.
Next thing you're gonna' tell us is that we misinterpreted your nonsensical kid-in-a-candy-store CES 2014 "musically perfect...-, across the board" endorsement of the Vandersteen 7A speakers.
From my perspective, your outlandish nonsensical product endorsements are just that, outlandish and nonsensical. Even so, they are far more telling about you and Stereophile than you apparently realize. But I think what really troubles some of us is the apparent blind arrogance associated with such nonsensical endorsements as these. Almost like you don't even think twice about anybody anywhere having enough savvy to call you on the carpet for your nonsense.
Aside from WWIII erupting, I don't see how you or Stereophile can possibly mitigate damages on your apparent miscalculations but it's already been interesting watching you try.
