Please stop, have you no decency? Historically, you've stirred a lot of shart rife with personal attacks and some will not get over it so easily. Still waiting for you to walk your talk...

Ok, I have read much of this thread (well as much as I can stomach). When I see it turning to personal insults, as it does far too often. To even try to refer to another member's health issues, weather true or not, has crossed a line. That is when I personally say enough is enough.
For the record I do not own a Taiko, although I have heard nothing but good things about them (even with some of the negative stuff that some members keep throwing around in this thread). I have a custom-built server that works great for me, and I truly believe the Taiko would be better, but I also believe that with my modest system I would probably not hear much difference.

I get it. WBF (and others) have some shilling, covering up going on. The continued arguments, personal attacks, etc. over who is and isn't at fault is getting tiresome. At this point y'all are only damaging your own reputations. Let it go already. Time to move on.

Enough was enough a long time ago... one should always try to avoid being drawn into the fool's paradise (a state of enjoyment based on false beliefs or hopes; a state of illusory happiness).

It would be great if you embraced this and decide to join, Mark. Everyone is welcome.
This is an opportunity that will separate those who claim to want civility vs. those who claim to but really love the animosity more. And we let the past stay in the past as we all acknowledge we can grow as people.
The olive branch has been extended.

Join what? Where does your tour start and stop? Why don't you explain how 2026 is going to be a transformative year in high-end audio? Who said 2026 is going to be a transformative year in high-end audio besides you?
How can your tour be a "positivity" tour when all we see you doing is trying to tear down companies and other audiophiles? Can you say Taiko? You are on a scorched earth high-end audio tour.
The irony of you extending an olive branch to me after you have twice posted on AS that you had inside information about a health issue I went through and I should have turned over a new leaf is laughable and despicable at the same time.

Well, I think it's safe to say you've made clear which side you are on.
I could sit here and ask how can I forgive you for you being a complete ass starting 5 minutes after my first post years ago.
But I'm not.
I could also say It's rich coming from you - the person who has known no bounds attacking people for years on this forum to suddenly claim there are boundaries and ways to behave.
But I won't as that just fulfills the need of the vocal few on this forum who revel in anger and animosity.
At some point in all our lives we need to wake up to the mistakes we've made and turn a new leaf. I'll be here ready to embrace you when you do.
I genuinely hope you will be able to find some peace and happiness in your life Mark. Being so unhappy and wrapped up in all this - as I was caught up in it myself - is just a miserable way to live.

You say the exact same thing to everyone who disagrees with you. When are you going to wake up to your mistakes and turn over a new leaf instead of projecting your own actions on others?

Hell. any link to a Youtube video is just leading you to shit.

man your vids are the best. Not easy to watch and no content, however utterly funny.
Who do you think is your audience btw?
As for the positivity tour, how is it meant? How could a seismic year look like?

It's a negativity "tour" that's literally going nowhere. I still want to know how 2026 is shaping up to be a transformative year in high-end audio.

Looks like WBF is at it again. LOL.
Good news is the screen shots of what was said over night (many of the posts calling out WBF) are already being shared endlessly and spreading like wildfire.
So once again they've only shown their true selves as a forum. When will they learn their attempts to delete everything they don't like only backfire? Oh that's right - they never learn.
So much for their plan of hiding behind a login to help counter the negative publicity they have. They're bleeding advertisers and credibility matched only by the legacy print mags and has-been legacy reviewers who play dumb on the forums.

If WBF stopped deleting threads and posts that aren't part of their pay-for-pay shakedown (as they did again last week) and supporting the shill-o-rama as they do, then there would be no posts about them.

Additionally people tired of this thread can simply stop reading it - or even posting on it.
