They say he got trapped into one of his "cul de sac made from Kevlar" creations ...

From what I've read, his ban came as the result of harvesting forum members' e-mail addresses and spamming them with advertisements for his "hearing supplement" multivitamins or something like that.So what happened to Patrick82?
Does that mean I will never ever get his magic pills again, then? And here I thought I will finally fully replace completely out of stock miserable audiophile's ticket back to the nirvana, rewarded by EISA themselves!From what I've read, his ban came as the result of harvesting forum members' e-mail addresses and spamming them with advertisements for his "hearing supplement" multivitamins or something like that.
He was always on that fine line between trolling and possible legitimate psychosis. Pretty sure he knew he was being ridiculous, but he invested copious amounts of money and energy into his pursuits to the point where other members feared for his mental health. Definitely a character, and a lesson about subjective evidence taken to the extreme.

OMG I love Hello Kitty! <3 He should have ironed out the creases on that sheet or whatever it is, though! Or at least made sure the creases fit the golden ratio or something!
What on earth makes you think the reviewers aren't making money? Without the High End as it exists today, the supporting print and web media would have closed their doors years ago. Between their basic paychecks, what goes on with LONG TERM gear loans, and who knows what other under the table deals, the high end reviewing community is doing just fine.Personally I consider the likes of Nordost to be in the same boat. And shill reviewers are worse still as they're not even the ones making $$$$$$$s out of fleecing the gullible.

This post is my favorite review in the history of subjective, TAS-style reviews:

To pair it with their $15,000 US f$%#king B cable .. and of course their $50,000 Odin speaker cables For faster transients, wider soundstage, blacker background and overall better sense of "you-are-there"-ness ...That's a fact.
But what on Gods Earth would make a person pay $20-30K for a Odin 2 power cord?
Patrick, you never fail to frighten me a little bit.This post is my favorite review in the history of subjective, TAS-style reviews:

Patrick, you never fail to frighten me a little bit.
I'm sure Nordost loves you, though!
LOL have to say I hate that even local hi-fi stores have tons and tons of nordost cables connecting everything (sponsored I'm sure), tricking the naive/uninitiated this is something they need...
He apparently had Nordost cables in his possession, which means either that he stole them or that he spent a great deal of money on them. Therefore, if he's just trolling, he must be very serious about it.
What in the name of all that is holy
But are you laughing with him or at him Lars? Personally I think he's just gone bat schitt crazy.Patrick82 is a Swedish user with a great sense of humour.

Keep him away from guns and the children! LOL
This is the Coconut Boa Constrictor cable by Patrick82, wish I had one ...
He's more than a bit confusing?I'm neither laughing with him or at him, just wondering how anyone reading his posts can take it seriously for a fraction of a second?
