Getting it wrong here is likely to be serious in something like the audiophile business which is low tech and heavily marketing based.Heavily marketing based? Please define your terms. Most of the brands I own don't advertise at all. Others will place an occasional ad in one of the audio mags. As opposed to say crappy stuff like Bose which spends millions of dollars every year in print and radio far beyond the audio realm.
There is no integrity issue here that I can see, he spoke truthfully and did not run down his old employer, at least not on this issue.
Of course he didn't run down McIntosh. He has simply whored out himself.
Note that he is not stating that Cardas wire performs better than lighting flex, which most certainly would be an integrity issue, but that he is using Cardas wire in his current product and letting his potential customers know the fact.
So, he is simply wasting their money on frivolous features? Great message.
I love this commentary by RR:
When confronted with the truth, believers do not want to hear about it. They want to remain in the magical world of fantasy where they think they can hear improvements in their wire, often arrived at by making listening tests without adequate controls or understanding of the problems involved. One of the prime tools in creating such a faith for the average consumer is by capitalizing on fear and ignorance as in many other things that aren’t readily apparent. There is fear that the wire currently in use is not good enough. There is ignorance because most people do not have scientific knowledge in this area and lack adequate measuring equipment to prove otherwise.
Only a fool thinks he knows everything. Here is a guy who thinks he knows everything and based upon that belief willingly overcharges his potential customers. Would you buy a used car from this guy?
They are making these statements in public for their employers customers to see?
Do tell us which statements to which you refer.
No competent ones but a lot of audiophiles believe in magic even if they do not view it as such.
I see. This is simply a theoretical reference to no company with which you are familiar.
So Andy (that's my father's name) what is your sound reference? What do you find to be most faithful to the music?
