Ittaku Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I've mentioned SR countless times before and their wild claims and insane prices for more than questionable products. Perhaps this may finally kickstart the proof drive required at a legal level to prevent absolutely anything and everything from being peddled as an audio improvement (but I seriously doubt it.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard so much vitriolic rhetoric since Killer Karl Kox took on Mario Milano in '68. I was quite young and used to watch it at my aunties house on channel 9 (I think??) - I always wanted to be Brute Bernard as I deeply admired both his IQ and haircut. Priceless memories - we are showing our age!! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking a third party to be the arbitrater of truth, and what you can say and how you can say it ..... it mostly a bad thing IMVHO. At the end of the day, what they claim might have some vague or difficult to demonstrate reasons for why/how their tings do what they do .... but the "what" really just comes down to "it will make your sound good". "Policing" this leads quickly to dystopia IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've seen Synergistic Research referred too as snake oil and you yourself analogised Synergistic Research with Nazis, not to mention being pleased with the fact that someone found that offensive. I've put in a request for my account to be closed. I don't like what I'm turning into on here and it's best for me to do that. No, I wasn't intending to compare them to Nazis. The point I was trying to make was different: that it's not OK to ignore something immoral because of "old". I've reported my own post to the moderators and I'm surprised that this thread isn't already sanitised and locked. That's all. I won't darken your doorstep again.

muon* Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Good, some humour injected into the thread Lets remember we are discussing a subject is all, so lets no become the subject matter I went to a bare knuckle match at Festival Hall back in the day as a kid, Mario Milano was fighting someone, can't recall who but there was blood...lots of blood, very different to the wrestling of today. Edit: looking at that pic of George, maybe it hasn't changed that much Edited May 6, 2021 by muon* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I really do think they (threats of violence, and speech or writing not tied down to reality) are more pronounced in the US than in Australia, not just limited to audiophile topics but to the whole ethos of society. Certainly we don't have violence in our streets to the same extent. Also we don't have alternative realities on political topics to nearly the same extent. We seem to be a bit more down to earth in Australia as regards facts, and quite a bit less inclined towards violence. And I hope we can stay that way.

Luc Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Killer Kowalski The voice of wrestling, Jack Little; Whooooooaaaa! NSW/QLD RL followers; Hands up who reckons this looks like Paul Gallen? I can still hear his voice and they used to follow this programme with Roller Derby and a young lads first vision of 'nasty women' as my Nana would tut tut and call them.

It's a bit more "ok to be loud" (or at least tolerated more), in the US. Honestly, I don't think you are any more/less likely to get punched in either country... if you do is reported to have happened. <shrug> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
