I have chatted with him via DM.
Very intelligent and articulate.
He’s playing off a rage under the surface of the community.
People are hyping stuff that is questionable/inconsistent and obviously bias.
They try to deny the bias and out themself by trying.
Who among us is without bias?
What is “honest”?
To whom?
Self? Customer? Companies?
You cannot survive with content unless you are very big or spend alot.
OR…1 or all 3 of those parties is getting short changed.
Likely the customer.
Companes will turn off the spout if you trash them public regardless of how many DAP’s you sold (FiiO, Hiby) or earphones ( too many to mention ). I have been told how great an asset I am and a simple apology and video removal will fix everything. I have told several company heads to **** my****.
Telling a rep is like telling the plumber your pizza sucked. pointless to the extreme.
Only 1 of my top 20 IEM was a freebie.
NONE…ZERO…are demo
I paid a cool $100,000 between IEM and Headphones in last year partly cuz i want to and partly cuz i have to.
Whatever. I’m not being held hostage. It’s my money.
The collabs help a lot but it’s become that. It is impossible to plan that.
My long rant is coming round.
Sharur exists cuz I… do.
Cuz Head Fi forum campers being so predictable it is god… damned… painful… do
Because people try and sell cables and whatever is sent to them and pass it off as something you need…do
Cuz sellers and their minions will intentionally soft kneecap sets that they don’t/cant sell…do
Cuz many many many of the reviews online are total B.S. and the result of a campaign or a tour or some other organized swarm…do
Sharur exists because the hobby is rotten and stinks like shit and many know it.
Any way to scream back into the void will tap into nerves that were frayed long before he was around.
Many do not comment but they watch.
If he’s as clever as he seems when not putting on a show he can make it work for him.
He can trash me all he likes.
"Don’t hate the player, hate the game"
Or as “Choclate Thunder” once said:
"Don’t fake the funk on an open court dunk’
Translated:
When everyone is watching, don’t get too cute and clever.
Smart folks will seeeeeeee yoooooou
