    Well, when James444 quoted a bunch of playfully negative stuff from here on HF to make it seem like people here hated Hf and then hypocritically still posted there, I was happy they deleted it.

    You really think you could resist his Sith powers?

    LOL, you guys are funny.

    It's less resisting Sith powers, but rather appealing to the goodness inherent within all people. I was pretty down on people around the time of Changstar's demise with all the shit that came down (I was partially to blame by fooling myself and wanting to look the other way), but the initial support for SuperBAF proved to me otherwise. The continued support and success of SuperBAF, despite the bumps we've encountered, continues to prove to me that human beings can be good. Vader's redemption is also proof of this. And while Jude may have cock-blocked our path on a few occasions, he's never done anything totally lame like taken money from any us and run off with it.

    With all due respect, Jude's last two videos (on Elear/Utopia and on Jotun) have been excellent.

    Or leaving you with a $3,000 bill to a vendor they committed to using your discount?

    His videos have always been excellent though. I don't think anyone here has a problem with his videos.

    I don't think any video can be described as excellent that is called "Head-Fi TV" but is not actually aired on television and (at least with the Jotunheim premature ejaculation video) uses the words: "which I'll explain after the break." What break? You don't have any commercial breaks! You just showed your site logo for the second time in 30 seconds.

    Also, I don't appreciate the blatant promotion of only high-cost IEMs and headphones in the Jotunheim video: Hifiman HE-6, HD800/S, Beyer T1v2, Westone ES60, JH Audio Roxanne, Noble K10, buyerdynamicandassholeincarnate okay T.A.I.E. (?), Fitear MH334, Hifiman HE1000, Focal Elear/Utopia, Ether C/Flow, LCD-4, Dharma D1000, DT1990, and many more.

    "If you've drained your budget on flagship headphones, the Jotunheim will get you a long way with just about anything you plug into it." Thanks. If I were to watch only Head-Fi TV "episodes," those would be the only products I'd know existed.

    Yes. Those all seem like logical criticisms. /sarcasm

    I actually watched his video about the Jotunheim. I thought it was very good, though there was some criticism about the review being released a bit too soon.

    I think we are all flawed human beings, except maybe me. Therefore there is always a chance for folks to reconsider their positions and be butt buddies again. Even Jude.

    Home Page:
    I don't go there simply because it's horribly BORING. I have very little time in my life for wading through piles of childish drivel with no socially redeeming aspects such as content, humor or even amusing thread drift. If the Schiitbook was cross posted here, there would be zero reason for me to log in there. As it is, I probably miss half the new chapters since if I don't see it immediately on the front page, I can't bring myself to look further.

    Don't hate anyone there; I'd have to stay there longer to find someone to hate. Nobody there seems interesting enough to take as a friend or an enemy. Probably there are people there worth talking too, but God, who has the time to sift though all that crap looking? Yuck!

    I'd take him out to dinner and shoot the shit about product development and audio technology but I think that ship has sailed and he would politely decline.

    Oh yeah, that happened. Same person who took a $5k loan from Marv and never paid it back because he thinks he deserves a cut of Studio sales because he gathered a lot of people to buy an amp that never materialized because he did zero work for it, never bought a single transformer for Craig to roll into it (Craig paid for all the transformers), and couldn't be bothered to even make the artwork he promised to make a year after promising to source it. A fundamentally different amp than the Studio that shared topology and not much else. Totally makes sense that you'd keep a friend's loan because you feel slighted by a different person.

    Some people in this world will always be a victim. nothing will ever be their fault and it's always someone else's fault that they were screwed for one reason or another.
