Another casualty under the current tenure. They were at the show one day and gone the next. Might have something to do with the moderators driving people towards Elektra and away from PAYING SPONSORS. Don't say that old chestnut again when the proof is here https://analog-precision.com/forum/the-dark-room/re-the-worst-case-of-anti-competitive-behavior-we-have-ever-seen-in-this-industr/. A good point added by the poster below, if it's so successful, WHY doesn't someone else take it over? And he has a hide to talk about civility when he allowed and condoned his moderators undermining paying sponsors at every opportunity in favour of Elektra. Shame Shame Shame.

It's all in the Dark Pages folks, from betty poop (who I'm convinced is a gay tranny, I mean what man would call himself betty) to his appalling treatment of BusiSoft.

It wasn't a terribly difficult decision for him to allow his moderators to continue to plug Elektra over the paying sponsors. The damage done to Sonic Purity by people being offered Elektra behind dealers backs by the moderators, where was the civility then? There wasn't any.

This shoves it right up Fatso the Wombats arse.

Why would you pay him an exorbitant amount of money to engross him with wealth he doesn't deserve when all you guys have to do is this. And you can do it as often as you like for far less then what Fatso charges.

Fatso the Wombat is not your friend, he is your captor.

This industry should not be held to ransom by a Mussolini like dictator and his biased moderators who do everything they can to demolish anyone who does not pay for even the slightest mention.

Is this the end of Audio shows as we know it. I certainly hope so.

See here for their behavior towards a paying sponsor https://analog-precision.com/forum/the-dark-room/re-the-worst-case-of-anti-competitive-behavior-we-have-ever-seen-in-this-industr/

Follow the thread through and see how they tries to cancel Busisoft from the industry. If you are one of the retailers/manufacturers/importers who have been shafted then here is your opportunity to go it alone.

I had this sent to me from a friend. The old DEQX was USD5995 according to the wayback machine. The new one is over 20k Australian.

I don't know how many cheap arse stereonet buyers will fork out 20k for this. But a price hike of 3 times for a new model seem a bit of a stretch. DEQX want your money up front and then a 3 month wait until you receive it. Is that like building off the plan? Or may be crowd sourcing disguised as early access and beta testing. They want you to pay them to test their new product. There doesn't seem to be any return policy attached to this. What happens if its rubbish like their last products? Do you get your money back? I doubt it as they have already spent your money making it.

Good luck with this one.

If you couldn't see that from the very beginning COVID was made for the Vaccine and not the other way around, any wonder you idiots buy cable lifters and $80k speaker cables. You dumb shits.

ASR links now disabled in stereonet. ASR is everything stereonet ISN'T which is why he does this.

Welcome to the amazing world of CLOWN AUDIO where clowns spend all their money on fuses, dots, cable supports and boxes of snot.

Here we go again. Yet another attempt to make the "Community" a more dystopian one where Rushton rules the roost.

I have been following this thread since its first post.

You cannot advertise anywhere else unless he benefits.

This is a fine example of "honesty" not "honestly" as he has written. He needs grammar check.

If you want an example of his honesty you don't have to look any further than the thread on here https://analog-precision.com/forum/the-dark-room/re-the-worst-case-of-anti-competitive-behavior-we-have-ever-seen-in-this-industr/

If you still think this is about honesty then you need your head checked. It's all about him extracting money out of you any way he can. Why not just avoid stereonet altogether. You get better coverage on Gumtree without copping a blast of shit from this nightie wearing megalomaniac.

Encouraging open communication? Try opening up communication and see where that gets you. Why do you people even put up with his bullshit? Why doesn't he just come out and say "I WANT MORE MONEY I WANT MORE MONEY." To quote Anthony Holton, "All very typical narcissistic behavior I have seen before. "

Rushton has bought a RADAR to detect members who don't comply with his rules. It's all about shutting down the Willsenton thread that has over 300 pages as its detracting from his paying sponsors. This must be killing him that this amplifier has gained the audience it has, ALL FOR FREE. I hope people keep it up.

[This topic was split from our previous thread about stereonet censoring our brand from their forum because we believe it deserves its very own thread and for good reason !Check it out.

I think it's the other way around when it comes to apologies !

My dispute with Mark (Marc) Rushton that got me banned and all my comments completely deleted had to do with the constant plugging by his moderators of a non paying sponsor, ELEKTRA over a paying sponsor being Anthony Holton. I have over 40 screen shots where Betty Boop has tried to sway forum members away from paying sponsors like Holton and OAD etc. towards Elektra. I bought this to Marcs (Marks) attention and was told on the forum how Stereonet forum is run as a comercial enterprise and Marc (Mark) would do whatever he sees fit.

This is what happened next.

I let Anthony know what was going on, that I had an unsolicited PM from a forum member offering me a substantial discount on 4 ELEKTRA amplifiers to power my 4 way active. Armed with this evidence Holton then approached Rushton. Holton then sent me this email.

Hi Mick

 

When I received your email last week I was somewhat shocked that you actually

Approached Marc the way you did, I did respond to Marc following your email asking him to clean up his moderators behaviour.

He did not respond well to me and denied he or his moderators had done anything wrong and then accused me of offending him deeply and proceeded to tell me what I knew to be more lies about you and my good friend Matt Pullen.

All very typical Narcissistic behaviour on his part, I have had the misfortune to have encountered many times in my life from these types of people.

Matt has now been banned from the SNA forum and Marc basically said to me if I wasn't happy leave and do not renew the $2000 invoice for a year subscription on SNA.

He also added if I believed what you had said about him was true he did not want me there anyway.

The fact is I witnessed it all in any case over the last 12 months with my own eyes I did not need any convincing it was going on from you.

Marc shutdown the SNA forum for about 4 hrs the other day, most likely to redact all of the evidence on his site that might incriminate him;

So at this stage I intend to leave SNA at the end of March when the subscription runs out.

It's been a tough road for me over the last 2 years or so financially and frankly I am getting very tired. No doubt I have lost sales from these moderators behaviour to Electra.

 

Matt and I are talking about setting our own forum up, but we will see.

 

 

Cheers Anthony

 

 

 

 

Kind Regards

This is the PM I was sent, with my reply to the unsolicited offer. The mobile phone number has been removed. I have not called that number but I believe it matches up to one of the moderators mobile phones.

Hi Mick.
I see you are after some amplifiers for your 4 way active build.I see you are looking at Holton on the thread you started but I can get you Elektra at a substantial discount compared to what's being offered in store especially seeing as though you will need 4 of them.You can audition the amplifiers at Sonic Purity and I can get you Reference HD for $2500 each if you buy 4.This is a very good offer giving you massive savings over the retail price.This would only be open to you and I would respectfully request that this offer not be made public.If you are interested then reply to this PM with your phone number and someone will be in contact with you or call 0412 XXX XXX and tell him who you are and you want to buy some Elektra amps.Good luck with the build I'm sure it will sound fabulous.

Whoever you are.
I'm not really interested in Elektra amps. You may have seen my posts on the forum about the internal build quality of the Elektra amps, I think they are rubbish and I have no interest them, I would prefer Holton as I have stated in the thread. I'm not sure how forum sponsors who pay money to Stereonet and expect a return on their investment via people frequenting their shops and paying full price would react to this unsolicited offer depriving them of revenue, which I think is very deceitful.
I will be informing Mark Rushton and Anthony Holton of this. Do not contact me again.

Some screen shots from SNA showing the constant plugging by stereonet moderators.







There is no conspiracy theory here! Really? I suppose those posts from Betty Boop above have come from a different time continuum. I will testify in a court of law as to the veracity and sequence of events to the above. 

In the second post you can see Betty Boop has promoted Elektra above the following paying sponsors who sell Parasound A52+. Audio Trends in Melbourne, Douglas HiFi in Perth and Sydney HiFi in Mona Vale. I would not be too happy paying $2000 a year or whatever is demanded of them, in order to have a potential customer being swayed to the direction of another product who doesn't pay any money but gets his advertising free courtesy of Stereonets' moderators. Unbelievable. I wonder how many sales were lost by these paying sponsors. Just like Holton did. In the third post Betty throws Rotel under the bus too. The guy doesn't even mention Rotel but Betty gets a dig in at them anyway. Klapp, Space HiFi, Tivoli, Todds and West Coast HiFi all have one of their products slammed as TOO EXPENSIVE by this moderator. Nice work Stereonet.

My 4 way active.

1st order xover.

Analog Precision 8 channel amplifier.

Without doubt the best sound I have heard. Superb midrange like you have never heard.
