What a guy. He talks about "toxic" people over and over again, not realizing he is the leader of such group. He says this toward the end:
"When their argument is accounted they start to attack the person. "
Let's look at who does that. When I first got notoriety on head-fi due to my review and testing of Schiit Yggy having problems, a storm got created with him and Jude right behind it. Here is what Jude said:
[...]
I post under my real name and credentials and this guy goes out of his way to position me as someone else. This is obviously a personal attack which he says is a sign that you should avoid such people!
Most of his rant is about me without having the courage to use my name. If he had, then people could point out to him the many awards I have given to Schiit products and how the company has transformed itself to produce better engineered products. There was no agenda, and never has been to put down one company and raise another as he says over and over again.
At the end of the day, science and engineering are his enemy because it invalidates much of what he talks about and believes (Toslink cables sounding different to him). So he goes and produces a toxic video to rant about us/me because we are advancing the cause of audio transparency and great engineering.
I can see them being frustrated but we are not the enemy here. The enemy is beveling in your gut instead of spending the time and energy to get educated. Just because you have a body, you don't become a doctor. Just because you have ears, you don't become an expert in audio. These guys need to learn to perform controlled testing. Understand how audio products really work. What can do something that is audible and what doesn't have a chance.
So we will see blogger after blogger rating this way. Meanwhile, we got business to do which is characterize as many audio products we possibly can using reliable, objective data that follows audio science and engineering. They can stew over it or peak here once in a while and understand the real world of audio. Making a video to rant doesn't help and just shows the hypocrisy of the points he is trying to make as I showed above.
