Thanks, Arny, for showing your true colors by personally attacking me based on false claims. You've done more to hurt your own personal credibility than I could ever do, as if I even wanted to. In fact I'd love to see you to start acting rationally and limit yourself to discussing the true facts of the matter which are, quite simply, that neither you nor I nor Uptone have showed any test results for the device for either the problem it purports to address nor the solution to that problem. Period, end of story.
If all you'd done was issue a simple call for rational testing of the device I would have happily agreed with you and still do. Not that I'd ever wish someone to harm themselves, but if my agreeing with you has or had that effect I would have, of course, been deeply saddened. As far as positioning my speakers, if you call manipulating their positions with my hands, arms and upper body (which is all I've done) a waste of time and money due to lack of investment in good test equipment and technology, I agree again (please put that knife down!). Beyond my Radio Shack SPL meter, Stereophile test discs, and laser measuring device (all relatively inexpensive) I don't have the inclination or, perhaps more importantly, the skills to invest in a bunch of testing gear, to boot. So, I've done the best I can and self-limited to the afore-mentioned devices and my ears. Once you're out of the hospital, I'd like to invite you to demonstrate your awesome skills and come on out here with all of your good test equipment and technology (I'm assuming you must have such items), spend a few days, enjoy nice dinners and a few glasses of good wine, position my speakers perfectly in my rather awkward-shaped living room and, oh by the way, you have to do that whilst also 100% satisfying the aesthetic sensibilities (meaning no acoustic panels or other such ugliness) of my lovely wife---all gratis of course, since you so very kindly wouldn't want to have me waste more over-large amounts of time and money. We'll keep that spare bedroom all ready for your arrival ;>).
