I don't think you guys appreciate how much Matt works on his online persona.  Misspellings and superfluous capitalizations in the face of word processing autocorrecting software such as spellcheck are a 21st century art form, really.

Hmmm. A lot of effort to protect Chord. Not sure what rule I violated.

Unbelievable (except not really, right). I went to the HF TOS to see what they were relying on with their deletion. All I could come up with was a very hmm "expansive" reading of this MOT rule: "5. A Member of the Trade may not post subjective assessments or negative comments about the products/services of competitors." So, I guess MOT's cannot make any subjective comment or criticism of any manufacturer because everyone is in effect "competitors" with everyone else, even if your company makes only amps and you are commenting on DAC makers. What BS!

I must have missed that new EC DAC huh?

I think it was the "meet" angle, that is no mention of Changstar (and its meets) are allowed.

I was told that I could say what I wanted about DACs, speakers, and headphones since EC doesn't make any. Amos has already set precedent with this too by allowing me commentary on DAC, headphones, etc.

The other possibility is someone at Chord flagged it; or Jude saw the King Jude postcard on top of the LG and flipped out. (Jude actually reads Changstar more than he should.)

See my response below. I wish he would just ban me so I can be a martyr. Between Joe and him, I've had like five warnings already in the last several months.

It doesn't exist. Not even on a napkin.

In other words, become a $pon$or.

Been trying to convince Craig. He was a sponsor a while back. Don't you guys remember?
