On Pink Fish the guy/gal named Arkless, is always thinking he is right, he is so wrong at times, why is he so pushy on his rightness, comments please ? :grin:

Is he a ex teacher maybe?
Just blind?
And many other rude adjectives I can't spell ?

He is an arse who should be ignored. His one claim to fame is he worked for a while at Musical Fidelity :roll:

I wouldn't ignore him but then again I wouldn't accept what he says as gospel.

The funny thing is Doc you and him are far more alike than either of you would ever admit.

Holds strong opinions- check
Doesn't believe in foo- check
Doesn't suffer fools- check
Not afraid of saying unpopular things- check
Banned from various fora - check
Designs hifi- check
Sells direct - check
Can be quite rude- check (lol)

Notionally you share a lot of common ground

1/ I am not an alcoholic
2/ I don't take my customers money in order to go down the pub and stitch up my customers
3/ I build unique product not some mods or using other peoples circuits
4/ I do not avoid comparisons with other products
5/ I do not pretend I know everything and a "can't be questioned" expert.
6/ I do not trust test gear apart from for circuit safety and reliability, I trust my ears. the total opposite of him.
7/ I am not an arse. I do not put up with people calling me a child molester *publicly* as he did at AoS, that makes him an arse IMO.

It is not my opinion, he made it an excuse when he took customers money for going to the pub instead of building their products.

8/ I do not lie to my customers as he did at PFM.

I've not met Jez.

Online, he is more credible (and tolerable) when he plays the ball rather than the man.

I disagreed with Arkless on pfm here:
https://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads ... st-3329867
and here:
https://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads ... st-3259333

I don't like his posting style and I have no respect for what he says about hi-fi.

He's talking absolute bollocks here:
