    Boarders, surely? Imposter, I'm not sure that you're a maritime brigand at all!

    It is a decent statement - I agree

    However I think Jude could have mitigated a lot of the fallout by making a similar statement before the switch took place. It would have been obvious 2 weeks prior that there was no way the forum would comeback online with all features intact, and a statement of forewarning would have really helped.

    I also think the statement was somewhat late in coming. Either he was ignoring the fallout, or was simply unaware of it for a period of time. If it's the latter reason then it would confirm what I've always suspected about Jude, in that he doesn't really interact with the head-fi community - it's very very rare that I see a post from him other than tom promote a head-fi event or special.

    Anyway, that aside. I just think it was badly managed from a PR point of view. I'll still continue to post there, but there's no way I'll be buying any Noble IEMs in the near future.

    Sad to hear that people aren't happy with the new HF and feel that they have been treated like serfs from some two-bit minor lord hiding in a stone tower.

    I think it's time we closed this thread. I didn't want to shut it down immediately because censorship is not our style and also I feel it's healthy for people to vent.

    Ultimately, I am not concerned with HF happenings but am concerned about maintaining high s/n ratio, which has dropped lately.
