After reading this most recent RH bit I've new things in mind. 

 

In my mind now:

 

RH= Robert Harlot

 

RS says to RH...."you better get me my money........bitch".  

 

TAS= The absolute sellout  or The Advertising Sellout.

There is nothing new about what Harley is doing. He has been an industry prostitute for decades now. He collided with Valin and Alon Wolf to create a market for Magico. He shilled the hell out of a hundred different brands. All par for the course.  Funny how he wrote a rave"review" of the Schiit DAC right after they placed full page ads. 😎

He has been relegated to tier four in the new audio reviewer catagories.

An uncivil audiophile in person one of a few stereotypes.

So to mask the collusion of industry insiders to push MQA, position those opposed to MQA as the elites.  Wow!  Trump is outclassed!  We here at AS are now the enemy of the people.

Comment of the month. Love it.

I am fighting the good fight in that discussion. I expect to be banned, eventually.

Onkyo Music is shutting down on October 6. One of the few places in the US to download MQA tracks.

I just forced myself to read the advertorial by Harley.  I wanted to vomit.  I did not think he could embarrass himself more than did with the "Copernicus" advertorial.  I have never read anything as pathetic.

I now have a better understanding of how one could mix up grape Kool-Aid in the jungles of South America.

Right.....

I have to wonder if that was a last gasp or if it was preparation for the next round.  MQA is like the energizer bunny.

 

I guess we will have a better idea by the end of this month.

Hope springs eternal and so does the flim-flam.

I just posted my comment - and not afraid to do so under my full name. Harley's latest article was truly over the top. It's almost as if someone at The Onion wrote it for him.

I just happened to be in room 6117 at 11. @Rt66indierock was also there. Ken from MQA was in the back. 

 

But, for some reason the MQA presentation didn’t happen.

You interrupted their program

Just like at the Munich show I’ve run into more manufacturers who thanked me for hosting the factual MQA here and giving my presentation last year. One just asked me if I could do it again and offered help/backup on the technical side. 

 

I also talked to a manufacturer who wants to offer MQA as a download for purchase for customers who want MQA. They don’t want to implement it in their DAC because it sounds worse but if customers like it, they can purchase the firmware download.
