They were aimed at everyone whose posts here contributed to the above situation. Alan S has a particular penchant for 'poking' those who can hear the differences made by using 'fancy mains cables', whenever he sees an opportunity to do so, just because he can't hear what those people can, and it has to stop. He is also not alone in that respect.
It's very important on this forum that anyone who wants to eulogise about or express their pleasure/excitement about the effect of their new mains cables (or anything else related to improving their hi-fi system), can do so without folk 'raining on their parade', as it were.
Now I know that Martin is a big boy and can look after himself, but the behaviour I'm referring to above sends out the wrong message on AoS, which must always be remembered is primarily a subjectivist forum, and it may prevent others, not as thick-skinned as Martin, expressing their delight or posting their impressions of the improvements a new mains lead (or whatever) has made to their system - and I simply will not allow that.
As I've said before, we don't gag people here, so if anyone wants to be as critical as they like (within the boundaries of respect and decency) about the efficacy of mains cables, then ensure that it is done either on a thread started specifically for that purpose, or on one already started by someone else, relating to that topic, and NOT on a thread such as this.
I do hope that I've made myself clear and do not have to issue bans to offenders (which I will do in future, if this happens again), in order to get the message across about the kind behaviour that is expected here.
Marco.
