What a load of complete Bullshit. All the way around man...
You were booted from the WBF for reasons that has NOTHING to do with what BS you stated. TBT, you started a thread that was honestly advertising the Greek Audio Geek, albeit under a different and an innocent name to begin with. You took that and ran with it and that was perfectly fine for a while.....The day you started your BS campaign was the day we really took notice of your agenda. We gave you grace. Plenty of it. You took that and completely shit on the WBF, spreading false lies on your FB page, relentlessly.

Hi Tom - thanks for posting.
Interesting you're STILL claiming Alessandro (the client with the issues I talked about) - and who has publicly posted ON YOUR SITE TO VERIFY THE ISSUES WERE REAL - is a liar.
It's confusing to me why you are calling 'propaganda' all his public posts on Facebook telling his story about the shitshow called Taiko. HE WENT PUBLIC with the issues after giving up dealing with their BS, I simply shared his story.
And let's also be clear how Taiko operates - it goes behind the backs of distributors and dealers to take paying customers AWAY from them -so Taiko can get paid direct and cut out their dealers. They are on what is known as the '.1' list.
Be honest - the thread was DELETED. You then posted stating on the forum anyone talking about it would be immediately banned. That's why I needed to use screen shots in my video and not show the actual full post - you had DELETED it. Your attempts to silence failed. It appears Headphonesty should be including you in their recent articles of naming names.
All hell broke loose about your questionable behavior by deleting so you then reinstated it. Having one of your own owners - as WBF does - who questions how WBF operates allows for interesting insight.
You banned me with no warning because one of your biggest sponsors - yes the one that Steve makes bold claims about when trying to get new sponsors - was having posts posted about the nightmare its customer was having. The normal forum nitwits called the claims lies (and some suggested violence).
Some even tried to spread lies about me to others outside the forum and were swiftly shut down when they were told about what working with Taiko is really like. Again these nitwits claimed the customer was lying about the issues with Taiko.
Imagine the gall and stupidity of that stance?
Then when photo proof was presented on WBF of the customers posts detailing the nightmare you suddenly deleted the thread and warned people to not even talk about it. How Gestapo like.
As we dug further into the customers ongoing issues with Taiko, we started hearing about customers - many customers - with orders (some back to December 2023) who've paid tens of thousands of dollars still with no unit and no ETA of when it would ever be ready. Hmmmm.......
Funny you also popped up the other day on WBF to protect one of the biggest known industry shills who's pretending to be a regular consumer when he was called out for his shady behavior. Why would you protect one of the largest known shills-for-hire in the industry?
Even your owner Ron called me and admitted you violated every single one of your own rules, and stated you and Steve are "out of control in how you operate WBF".
It's funny to me you continue to call the real story a lie - even with screen shots AND the customer having repeatedly posted in multiple places for all to see the real story. Is that because they are a paying sponsor or because you just really don't care about companies delivering on what people pay for?
Interesting how WBF operates - it's banned Jay for no reason and any thread that mentions him gets deleted, Mike for no reason (jealous he started a forum maybe to compete with WBF - at least his isn't paid by 'sponsors'), me and anyone else who won't pay your bribe fee to post. It's a real shame you deleted all of the Genesis subform when he wouldn't pay your pay-to-play fee recently. No pay to WBF = you will be silenced.
Any company who takes tens of thousands of dollars up front, is close to two years with no ETA, and is still sending out emails to customers saying they have no ETA to give should be questioned.
Any company that put the customer through the ringer as it did should be questioned.
Any company who goes behind the backs of its dealers and distributors to CUT THEM OUT of multiple sales should be questioned.
It's ok though, we all know Steve has a special relationship with Taiko as he likes to brag about when trying to woo new sponsors.
Thanks Tom for helping to bring attention again to what Alessandro was put through and how WBF really operates by posting this post.
I didn't secretly go by some different name to try and promote my site on your low-traffic forum. I had clear links in an effort to be transparent in my signature. I get upwards of 3.4 million views on a good month so I don't need to try and get a couple of cheap views off WBF. Of all the dozens and dozens of posts I made on WBF, less than 10 linked to a video since I was there to talk audio, not to try and promote anything.
It must be nice you being able to come here and post on Mike's forum. Too bad you banned him from yours from being able to do the same. That pretty much says all anyone needs to know about WBF.
Honestly Tom I thought more of you than this. I'm quite disappointed how you guys turned out to be. Being banned from WBF is actually an honor among honest audiophiles now as you've got quite the ban list going - so no victim status here.
I have no ill-will towards you or Steve, Steve is well...Steve and a lost cause. You I still have hope for.
Edited for spelling.
