Newbie Perspective from a Bottom Feeder.
PRW,
Basically there has been a big issue here with people accusing this company or that company with spamming or hiring users to boost products by posting good this or great that in this mic forum. I can only speak for myself when I say I dont know personally. I try to just read through the posts and make my own decisions. But on the other hand you have people in here who may make a post that some would consider a valid statement or to be true based solely on the poster's reputation as a mic forum poster. Im not going to get in the whats right and whats wrong thingy, but If I personally was in your shoes and wanted to promote my product,, I would a least put my title to the left as a Id source. To me it make no difference, but to others and trust me when I say someone will probably comment the same way as youve seen already, just throw some ID up there. I see your new and if you need help doing it just ask. just letting you know in advance before this thread gets ugly and they run you away. LOL
Now back to business,, and I will speak as a bottom feeder to gear. A lot of people in here make their purchasing decisions based on these threads and recommendations from certain users ( and there are a lot of them). Mainly because a lot of people do not have access to sources for listening to these products. A lot of these guys have plenty of gear which may be of the same pro quality, semi pro quality or just cheap that they evaluate or compare then post their "opinions" on what they think is good, close to, sucks, etc. Guys like me look for these type of posts. If you hang around long enough you will learn who these people are. Just too many to mention. If you want to get your post read with some seriousness ( not saying that they arent now), try to get some of the pro guys who we look to for comments to eval your preamp. I know nothing about any of the gear you mentioned mainly because this forum is really for the budget to mid level guy who hasnt been around long enough nor have the resources to comment on high priced gear. WE are just lucky to have these pro guys hanging out around here and helping us make decisions. Also,, although a lot of us may not own the high price gear doesnt mean that we do not know about it or what applications they may work well with. Sh@t, we just cant afford it. Well maybe some of us bottom feeders can afford it,, but just cant find a reason to justify paying for it. get me ?
Not to tell you how to run your business or anything nor am I doubting your years of exprience in the field or your product,,, but if you wanna make some sales from people in here,, and turst me it happens,, let some of the pro experienced guys evaluate your product so they can come back with what they found out. That seems to be the way everyone else has done it. Your shelling out a few pieces to a couple of guys could in term generate some sales for yourself. Just my .02 from the Newbie POV.
And again. Welcome
Malcolm
