postjack Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 On the contrary, I think this is very clear-minded dishonesty, which makes it even worse. I mean, can anyone truly believe his real first impression of the 800s is that they're "sloooooooow"? In politics you're often told to attack the strengths, not the weaknesses. It doesn't matter how ludicrous the accusation, a seed of doubt will take root with at least some listeners/readers. well put. I think its more fun to draw from mark's past behavior and blame his HD800 reaction on craziness, but I would bet he's just bullshitting to drive his business.

It doesn't matter how ludicrous the accusation, a seed of doubt will take root with at least some listeners/readers. I agree, it's blatant dishonesty. Slow is the last thing that comes to mind with the HD800s. And the cure-all cable nonsense is well, just nonsense. I mean I've been known to recable a headphone or 3 but come on, none of them have ever transformed a headphone for me. Subtle tweak, yes, earth-shattering change GTFO.
Grahame Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 Are you suggesting Audiophools are suggestible?
tyrion Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 markl and I have been having a little public discussion.
tyrion Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 You are so polite, not sure how you do it. I'm just a nice guy.
luvdunhill Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 markl and I have been having a little public discussion. oh?
Hopstretch Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 Yeah, wow, 900 bucks! Another $500 and he could have bought a decent headphone.
rogue Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 markl's balsa-wood cupped and dynamatted D2000's must not be selling so well lately. Imagine any established audio company posting such a "review" about a competitor's product on their own website..

GPH Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 It's just sad to see BS again like that on H-F after reading all the nice and refreshing CanJam threads.
recstar24 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 i like the part about competing with Sennheiser. stuffing the cups with cotton balls + adding a Jena cable != designing and manufacturing HD800s For real, I mean what does sennheiser know about designing audio electronics and gear:palm:
rogue Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 i thought #1 was the most hilarious. Yeah, that one was great. HD800's slow as molasses? srsly?
blubliss Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 i thought #1 was the most hilarious. That's the one that got me too .
Fitz Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 Maybe he's going for something along the lines of the refuge in audacity trope?
tkam Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 markl and I have been having a little public discussion. can you kick him in the head for me?
Fitz Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 I'd pay to see that happen. I can't stand that douchenozzle.
postjack Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 ladies and gents, its another head-case pile on at HF. loving it, although it makes me (delightfully) nervous.
