I think Mython was being a baby to be honest.  I mean if you don't like what's being said in a thread, then don't read it.  It's really simple!  It's not like all of this was going on in the Chord Hugo Appreciation thread then I would have understood maybe deleting some posts and moving on.  I have tried the Chord Hugo attached to an AK240.  The guy who showed it to me called it "this is as good as it gets for portable audio".  I remember telling him, it sounds alright but that's over $4500 of gear.  I want $4500 worth of gear to sound so much better than it did (again my opinion).

LOL, just realized that thread is locked...It is still hard for me to understand why it is not allowed to post links from Changstar on HF.

@Purrin's : I saw you disappeared from the HD800 thread too. Did Someone ask you to shut up ( I did but you know why  :)p8 ) or something ?

I'm locked out of it.

Lemme guess. You forgot to say "everything is awesome", someone pulled out the apples and oranges card + u like mellow + different tastes + don-tack-me-bro, and the thread lock hammer came down... because y'all didn't like the silver brick... Haven't heard it but it does look fisher pricy (seen it live) and the Spartan-6 26k tap WTA filter white paper stinks like BS to me. Again haven't heard it so I can't say much.

Enforced no-thumbs-up too. Wow!

Yur speshol though. In such cases I just get kicked out of the thread. I don't get my own custom no-thumbs-up account.

I unsubscribed the Hugo thread.

So much hype for an expensive product...
It is not bad, but not my cup of tea.
Like the M7 better. The NFB-7, too.

There seem to be huge discrepancies between feedback that I was wondering if my Hugo was defective or something.
I digged the quteHD sound and was quite disappointed to hear the Hugo took a path towards leaner and ultra-detailed sound..

It was indeed the big artillery, thread lock, removal of the reputations (was at 3 or 4 when I upped Purrin's post)... The strangest thing to me is that this absolutely does not feel like wrong discussion or anything? Indeed, simply going against the grain is just not tolerated anymore, especially when your voice has quite a bit of weight.

Utterly disappointed myself. Moderation may be a tough job (and reason why I never accepted to get into it), but that is simply abusing of authority imo... I've had my beef in the past with some of the discussions on this board but, in face of this, I realize having a single dominant website that has extreme pressure from sponsors and such is a really terrible idea... Infomercial at best is where it's going it feels.

Yup. I think ppl r taking things too personal there. I mean, I don't always agree with Marv, but I do respect his opinion and experience quite a bit.

It's not like some random dude that comes out saying the Hugo is the best thing evar cuz it beat some random Meridian transport and it's cage is made out of solid magnesium. Then go about how wonderfully knowledgeable Chord is, specially after trying to make sense of their WTA filter voodoo.

Hell, if we all here thought exactly the same we all would be having the exact same equipment and having mutual masturbation sessions about how awesome our equipments are. I think we all know where we are coming from though. There are things that are utter crap though or systems that don't necessarily pair well together unless one is looking for something in particular and such things IMO should be disclosed.

There is no point in going "every thing is awesome", or going all front page about some random sponsor (or potential sponsor) new product for no apparent reason... only to regretfully find out about it's faults later.

Hugo SQ and presentation was simply not liked by some. Reasons were given.

This time around, I think it goes deeper with Currawang. I wrote a little spiel in the HD800 appreciation thread about where I was coming from with the critical approach (in response to the brouhaha over the GSX2 / HD800 combination).

For some odd reason, this post got Currawang pissed off and in turn he decided to publicly chide me by replying what I wrote was "self-justifying BS" along with other dismissive borderline personal attack kind of stuff. In a follow up post, I wrote that evidently many other people didn't feel same way as he did - as my initial post already had several thumbs up. Basically made Currawang look like an idiot, so he deleted his own post.

I'm sure this incident burned a hole in his fragile psyche. The fact is whether people agree with me or not, or if I come off as too much of a dick, people do want to read what I have to say. And I know this must piss the hell out of Currawang, especially since the crowd is NOT cheering for him, but instead for his enemy. The only resort was for him to cheat by attributing statements to me which I never said and then locking the thread.

Why I am thinking Joaquin Phoenix and Russell Crowe?

No doubt why the thumbs up button for my HF posts have been removed.

Head-Fi is great for companies trying to sell goods. That's about it. Step on that, and you'll get shit, mostly from brainwashed consumers/minions. The mods are sitting in the sponsors' pockets.
