Comments temporarily disabled in the fight against SPAM

The amount of spam we were getting went from about 10 per day to 200 per day. Kind of depressing.

After hacking WordPress we are back down to 50. When we get it down to zero we will re-enable comments – hopefully no longer requiring people to register and login to comment any more.

What people do who do not know how to code – I do not know. This is the depressing part.

Been spending my blogging time in this fight. This is the other depressing part.

But I’ll try to slip in a few updates here and there. The Triolons are supposed to get lugged down to the garage tomorrow morning – but it is starting to snow now, so we’ll see how that goes.

CES ANNOUNCEMENT: Audio Federation is new Audio Note U.K. Importer / Distributor

It is with great pleasure that we accept the honor of being the U.S. distributor for not only one of the best lines of high-end home audio equipment in the world, bar none – but one of the largest as well.

The Audio Note product line comprises several hundred products and stretches from excellent price /performance for the frugal audiophile to excellent price / PERFORMANCE for the extremely ambitious audiophile, along with lots of juicy stuff for everybody in between.

Audio Federation carries only product lines that have proven themselves to be of unusually high quality – based on application of our well-published methodologies – and Audio Note U.K. has proven themsevles several times over here at the ‘Audio Federation Proving Grounds’.

As the Audio Note importer, we will be able to help put even more, higher quality, better sounding [aka ‘more better’] equipment into the hands of more people. This has been and always will be Audio Federation’s raison d’être

As we continue to expand our repertoire here with respect to Audio Note we will continue to fully support and work closely with each of our product lines. All of the product lines we carry bring something to the party, and are fully able to compete side-by-side in any fair competition.

[Not quite STAY TUNED FOR AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT-speak, and I just couldn’t bring myself to write in that oh so common PRESS RELEASE-speak. BO-ring. So what we have here is perfect Audio Federation Blog-speak… and I should know 🙂 …you got your soto voice and smiley faces and … everything.

Anyway, we are really psyched and look forward to supporting the Audio Note dealer network, Audio Note owners, and all ya audiophiles-at-large so that as many people as possible get to hear what this stuff can do. WE are impressed, and we think most of you will be too.

We haven’t mentioned this to anyone in the industry… until now – so all you out there are getting the news at the same time. This neatly solves / sidesteps our problem of in what order we were going to have to let everyone in on the news. :-)]

Audio Note UK Answers – a new Yahoo group

.. and I quote:

“A new Yahoo Group – Audio Note UK Answers – has been started to provide current information and answers to questions regarding Audio Note UK products. The hope is that a global community of Audio Note customers, potential customers and the merely curious will wander through as if it were a coffee shop, asking and answering questions, checking on upcoming shows where they may hear Audio Note systems or special events, etc . . .”

It is very new.

But I expect it to be a nice quiet place where people can ask questions without feeling theatened by the often ‘unfriendly behavior’ that we see on that ‘crazy’ forum. Many (most) people we know were once patients of this institution but eventually checked themselves out of and are now permanent escapees. 🙂
