LOL! Sounds just like the forum at Head-Fi these days. The fight about silver vs copper cables as stiff as a coat hanger is a daily occurance and I no longer bother reading there. If I give a bad opinion on a headphone I listened to at a store, people would bombard me with a dozen PMs trying to tell me I'm wrong because what they bought is the best!
The white van speaker is one end of the spectrum, while on the other end of the spectrum I think there is also too much snake oil being sold to the wealthy folks these days.
BTW the same white van speaker scam exists but in the form of an SUV with an Italian dude claiming he needs to sell off some Armani sample products as he is going to miss his flight and wants to avoid paying taxes. It's really hilarious.
