Yeah - I think all the glue is long dried up decades ago. The glass has been loose on all the ones I've received. I know Murphy's law - the minute I glue it back it will break. :)

I totally agree. I'm always amazed at the people who get angry - yes angry - at people who decide to buy nice cables as an example. Conversely I currently have listed as one of my best amps at any price is the $1800 type 45 mono blocks I own. And I have mono blocks here that are 50x that...

Thus my view they are a much bigger threat to the hifi industry than the few expensive companies. Also I'd like to add to your post CNN, Washington Post, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Associated Press, Reuters, BBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Apple News (per the recent expose showing 90% of...

Hi Randy - for sure it only feeds you stuff it thinks is relevant. I wasn't suggesting that you missed it, only that is it is a pervasive sheeple-mantra of many that in audio anything over a few hundreds dollars is over priced snake oil. We see similar actions constantly attacking the...

It's impossible to miss - people like AR and a bevy of just about every other video all has headlines proclaiming it.

I think in addition to this just as much damage is being done on the YouTubers "racing downhill". They are the people who started their careers talking high end gear and now in their race to chase subscribers do videos like "this $300 DAC kills $20,000 DAC's" and stuff like that. They falsely...

Well, I spent 4 hours on this yesterday going through the resistors, caps and checking all the wiring connections. Believe it or not, some of the resistors (all mil-spec) were still within tolerances! Regardless, I made a list and ordered all new ones today to replace anyway. Even the ones...

I agree - I go back from time to time as well for a good chuckle. Numerous people have posted here on AS that they were banned after simply saying they didn't care for a particular brands piece of gear that was a paying sponsor on WBF. I look at it this way: if you've been banned from WBF that...

Looks like they did it again today to protect AXISS Audio and Soulution from that shitshow Ron started about them and the Soulution debacle a few weeks ago. Look at the before (top) and after (below) photo of what was posted and what they deleted since it didn't fawn over one of their paid...

The difference is you aren't paid by companies to ban people like you-know-who while they allow paid shills to run rampant. That's a big difference.

You should have a public spectacle and call it National WBF Pardon Day. Openly advertise for all the people who were silenced by WBF for not being as corrupt as them that you are going go have a day of "Rebirth" for them on AS. Pick a day and it will be a celebratory day where they can each...

If we have a day for this, we DEFINITELY should have a happy Tube Day!

Hi Mark - I respect if you have a different view point. I would only caution one thing - WBF has NEVER cared about doing the "right" thing or public perception when they do the wrong thing so often. I can't imagine them starting to care now all of sudden. But you may be right.

You may want to research what you are talking about prior to making that statement. SW hates, and I mean hates Ron. This is public knowledge. Ron himself admits it. Steve himself admits it. Same with Ron and Tom. WBF made the decision because the HIFI five was getting more traction, views...

Thank you. My question was meant in the spirit of genuine conversation.
