The meet is being blatantly censored. It's being put on by Schiit and they're showing off new products there. If SBAF weren't involved it would be on Head-fi's meet forum without question. that's just so...pathetic and low I don't even have the words for it. It's sad that this hobby is forced to exist in Jude's universe.
It really is ridiculous. I literally received an email from Emotive about it since they are one of the sponsors too. Jude needs ti check his frickin' priorities I think.
I know if I ran a headphone hobbyist site, one of my top priorities would be actively ensuring that my readers aren't in the loop for cool new headphone things. It just makes sense, right?
There's no way this completely escapes them, because there are plenty of subtle references to this place, even from people who seemingly aren't members. They don't all get caught.
For real though, @zerodeefex nailed it. While I agree it's bad, it's pretty logical for Jude to block or minimize mention of any other show put on by any possible competitor... especially one where the hosts cover (rising) attendance costs of both attendees and vendors rather than charging everyone to attend.
