Sorry to burst your bubble audiojunkie but "this won't be good". I'm not a big fan of internet drama. Not a fan of drama in the real world actually.. that's especially true for this silly situation. I'm afraid to unfortunately tell you that I said my peace and am done posting here now. I'll let you guys do your circle thing where you high five and say things behind a keyboard that you wouldn't say in real life. I wish I could provide some more content for your entertainment but it would be at the cost of my time which I think is at least more valuable than an e-argument on a small forum in a small hobby that I sometimes partake in for fun. Just remember that you guys are posting and thinking about me in a negative light (unfairly) and in return I don't think about any of you guys at all. Sorry for any typos, I'm using my phone! Later guys, try to stay classy.

Not sure if I should feel flattered or not care at all. Publicity really can be a good thing, even if it is a bunch of audio hobbyist patting each other on the back as they write insults to a guy having fun and writing reviews as a hobby. The things said in this thread would mean a lot more if actually mentioned to me in person. Be sure I'd welcome any conversation at any meet. Passionate topics usually do better without a computer screen to hide behind. Either way, I appreciate the concern and deep down maybe you guys just care about the hobby (for some of you profession) of audio which is respectable. Yea Birgir got me real good with that response! I'm glad he held back because I don't know what I'd do if the email was even crazier. Wow!! Actually I'd probably just go on about my business and keep having fun in this little side hobby, because I don't take him or any of this that seriously. I just like to have fun listening to music and buying new gear.. even if sometimes I do receive a discount. Except I don't get paid on top of all that like Tyll and many dozens of others. I just don't see the absolute shame and crime that you guys see I guess. Maybe my judgement in the review world is just hazy because it's all new to me and again. I do it for fun. Either way, I go to all of Nashville meets and if you guys want to talk about any disrespect or discounts or anything at all.. please take the less childish route and do it in person like many of you pretend to advocate for in your posts. At the end of the day I appreciate the extra publicity for better or for worse. To me it's all a game really.. I have a very busy career and try to focus on it before any of this headphone fun. Have a great day and I will quote my reply to Birgir like I told him to do. Of course he didn't so that he could show off how he "got me good". Again.. as a grown man trying to have some fun in a small hobby and help out a boutique at the same time.. this all seems a little silly to me. It's almost not worth defending myself because I really don't care.. but figured I'd at least show up to say I'm a fan of the thread. Here's my reply which was not replied to by Birgir. I'm sure he rushed here asap to try to win internet points by using big words to insult a stranger. A little disappointing and questionable character. Oh well, he got his high fives. Boy he got me good! "What? Lol I didn't say that I'd make it a positive review .. I'd be completely honest and have been in the past many times. Shilling would be me guaranteeing you I'd make it a positive review no matter what. Taking hours of my time for an honest review of your product in exchange of a discount is probably one of the most common and respectable forms of getting your name out there that I could imagine .. it's a win win as you sell a product, I get a new amp and I give you publicity (and positive publicity if I like the amplifier). I don't understand why you as a product maker just used so much profanity and got upset .. seems insanely unprofessional and I am so confused right now to be honest. Please post my original email, your reply and then my follow-up reply to anywhere you want. If you want me to do the same I would be more than happy to post our whole conversation everywhere I can on the internet. Thanks"
