Audiogon thread closed...suspicious practices questioned

Posted by Brian Walsh (A) on November 2, 2007 at 21:34:23

There is a thread on the Audiogon Digital forum that Audiogon has closed. It's not the first one they've closed nor will it be the last, but the subject of the thread shifted to questioning why EMM Labs is having Audiogon delete any ads for their CDSA single box players without notice.

Anyone else smell something fishy? This has been going on for a while there, as for example someone mentioned it on the phone because his ad for his personal CDSA there was deleted without explanation.

I can see manufacturers and distributors not allowing dealers to advertise new products there and agree with that, but preventing private owners from advertising their used players? Come on! It would seem there may be some (now) not so secret bribery ("protection") being paid by EMM to Audiogon to police the ads and delete them promptly.

What the hell? Such practices are patently fascist and bad for consumers and ultimately bad for the industry. Have Audiogon and EMM sunken to new lows, becoming fearful of growing public outrage about their actions? Further, why support Audiogon in any way since it only serves to enable and reinforce their behavior? Where will it end? Any bets as to whether Audiogon will delete the whole thread, which in my opinion would only confirm their (and EMM's) guilt?
