Also, didn't Marco Reps(?) review the TS80 and found it outperformed the TS100 also?
Marco Reps used the tried and true formula: "four legs good, two legs better", while you used "four legs bad, two legs good", which is suicide when you want to minimize objections.
TS-100 is good, TS-80 is better explains why Marco Reps' review is alive.
TS-100 is bad, TS-80 is good explains why you had to shoot yourself in the head and take the video down.
If you actually watched the video, I also praised the TS100 and said it was good. I said buy whatever one suits your needs from a power POV.
Yes, I watched the video. At least 2/3 of it. Until it inexplicably stopped and then vanished.
In fact, I watched almost all your videos, since EEVblog #1. Some of them more than once. Some of them, many times.
But if you really praised the TS-100, then we need to find another explanation as to why one review went so smoothly and the other did not. Given the same "rabid" fanboys have watched both reviews.
So, let's investigate.
Being such an avid EEVblog viewer, I learned how to ponder your opinions. In fact you taught me that on EEVBlog #22 (6:39):
I got a rather interesting comment once, in fact I've had more than once in various forms, but the comment was basically: how do we know you're RIGHT? How can we take your word for it? On, you know, all these things and all these topics? And, well, you know, it's a really good question, and the answer is you SHOULDN'T. You should never take anyone's word for it. Don't take anything i say on these blogs as gospel. Uh, you know, I've been in the industry for 20 years so, you know, I like to think I do know what I'm talking about mostly. But, you know, don't take my word for it. All my blogs, and all the things I talk about on here are designed to be food for thought. You're supposed to use your own engineering judgment and, you know, and go out and verify things. If you're, you know, if you're really interested in something, don't complain that i didn't explain it right or and you know i might have got it a bit wrong or something like that. Go out and investigate for yourself. That's what it's all about: food for thought.But I guess not everybody in your audience is "trained" to entertain your opinions without accepting them, to paraphrase Aristotle.
Maybe the fact that you made some harsh comments about the TS-100 before praising it made people disregard your final verdict.
My impression is that Marco Reps, by showing how the TS-80 was better than the TS-100, without saying any negative comments, tacitly showed the deficiencies of TS-100.
Anyway, I'm just trying to find a way out of this perplexity.
