All we can do here Colin is chronicle dishonesty and :bulls1: The industry is largely ruled by those two things so of course we are an anathema to them. And we have the forums that perpetrate that by not allowing us to even exist in their eyes. Why because they are now part of this corruption. The worst being Wigwam and PinkFish.

Dealers and distributors have stock and have made an investment, they can't just walk away even if they should. BUT the seed is sown, scuttlebucket (lovely word) will spread by word of mouth and innuendo. This industry is based on fads, and companies can never always be a fad, Musical Fidelity try, TQ will fade as it starts to be discounted, reputation and name in this industry dies as quickly as it is made. There have been thousands of companies and over 80% of them no longer exist, that should tell you loads. And a lot of those had one or even many flavour of the month products at one time.

The audio industry spews out hundreds of thousands of products all based on a small bundle of main components...ie
Amplifiers, Cables, Mains dist, TT's, CDP's, DAC's, Headhpones, etc etc.
The vast majority of these products are pretty naff for one reason or another, it's a tall order to produce goods that sell well.
So when Jez poses the question to TAZzzz members "What should I build" (That will sell) the truth is its all been done a thousand times before
so what ever it is, had better be bloody good or advertised/hyped/shilled to fuk.

Sorry but the most appropriate would be a T shirt imprinted "I am naive - take me". Sorry Colin but you know it is true, it has happened too many times in your business life not too be true. Perhaps you are too much of a Mr Nice Guy.

BUT is it better to be known as a nice guy and suffer a little, or be rich but known as a c'nut and hated. :think:
