So I am a newbie to this forum (and not a robot, at least the last time I looked), but out of all the gear i've bought this year (ATC speakers, Chord DAC, Bryston amp) the SOtM Ultra line of products (sMS-200ultra, tX-USBultra, sPS-500) are the most impressive.

 

Still pretty shocked that SOtM might be creating fake accounts mind you.

May Park of SOTM sent an email early this morning asking that recipients vote for SOTM products in this thread. It included a suggested list of the top three sotm products.

 

I have asked her to remove my address from her mailing list.

 

There's a pretty big difference between 'getting the vote out' and rigging an election.

I'm totally cool with asking people to get the vote out. In fact I think it's kind of smart.

 

I totally understand that there are many happy customers who would vote for products if they knew this thread existed. 

 

I wouldn't have found out about this poll or website without it (excellent it is too!)

If, as it appears, SOtM is creating accounts here just to "vote" for their products, that would completely turn me off to the company.  That's unethical IMHO, and a company that can justify this kind of behavior may be able to justify more malevolent actions.  Best to avoid them completely I think.

 

Whilst that is clearly cheating, encouraging people to vote clearly isn't.

Sonore sent an email to their customers asking them to participate but I view that as  fair. Seems to me that for now, any account generated on or after the start of this thread should be disallowed for voting. And that in future,some minimum posting activity required to discourage preregistered "bot" accounts.

 

 

So a satisfied customer who happened to be new to this thread couldn't vote?
