How does Hoofy feel about Kevin Gray? Because it sure seems like he hates him based on his immediate co-sign of that thread. I'm aware of their work history together and how Hoofy's work went to shit afterwards.
CookieCurls does seem incredibly fake/weird/sus, don't you think, between the magazine-ready photos, catfishy persona, and links to Kevin Gray hate sites (that are in turn thinly-disguised ads to get you to buy $500 fucking used Boston records!)
To me it looks like the syncophants are rushing to defend the honor of this anonymous mystery weirdo CookieCurls, while ignoring the actual kinda fucked up professional damage being done to Kevin Gray, encouraged by Hoofy.
So I feel like I'm rooting for Kevin Gray here, entirely because Hoofy hates him. Important to note that I (1) don't know anything about Kevin Gray (2) don't give a fuck about audio and (3) couldn't be tempted to buy a Boston record with even the whitest of hot stampers

Hears distortion everywhere, is very sensitive to pitch issues, says she has perfect pitch and is a jazz musician who apparently owns a Gretsch White Falcon. Lives in a white-on-white apartment where the surrounding buildings magically change position from time to time. Sure. Sounds totally plausible. I have three recordings with Gray/Hoffman credits: Joni's Blue, Jackie McLean's Jackie's Bag, and Sonny Rollins Tenor Madness. They all sound great to me, but I'm willing to attribute that entirely to Gray. Of all the snake oil shit audiophiles fall for, Better Records takes the fucking biscuit. Worse than any cables, magic tube DACs, woo-woo shamanic sound sticks, you name it.

I thought Cookie was Hoofy at first but decided it was a Better Records shill. I wouldn't be surprised if they're colluding with Hoofy though. The shared bizarre RVG hatred definitely sticks out either way.
I read more trying to understand what the anti RVG position is and even Hoofy admits the records sound great, his problem is with the "work parts" used in the process of making the record and how reissues sound bad. Ok. Don't see how that's RVG's problem.

Surprised Chevorkas hasn't chimed in on that thread yet, 'cos he's in lockstep with Hoffman on RVG's sound.

Don’t worry, STeVe clears up whether it’s a shill or not.

Shocked to see JH901 join the conversation. I'm not sure if he left for a while or I've just been lucky enough to avoid him until now.

Don’t worry, STeVe clears up whether it’s a shill or not. The drooling idiots defending CookieCurls are somehow ignoring a little boo-boo in the pics of her "listening room." Post photos of your systems/rooms here! (Part 15)
Aside from this, even though it's our Skeev, I'm shocked that he's allowing so much dogpiling on Kevin, especially when he got all bent out of shape when that delusional Barry Diament left the forum after being correctly ridiculed. If Skeev isn't CookieCurls he's sure working with "her" to manipulate that thread.

Unsurprisingly, "she" is also a mechanical keyboard fetishist. That is the fakest-ass looking Instagram pic I've seen in a while. One of my favorite elements is the Topping headphone amp that doesn't have any kind of DAC connected to it. Minimalism at its finest.

Yes they do. That’s not one of them.

All you need to know about what a low-life, despicable cunt Steve Hoffman is, is evident in this thread. It was revealed that the Audio Fidelity remastering of a Simon & Garfunkel title was not sourced (as clearly claimed) from the master tapes. Jamie Tate had found out that the source for this "audiophile remaster" was in actual fact the bog standard CBS CeeDee. All the horseshit back and forth aside, the fact that this embarrassing thread is still accessible to this is telling. Yeah, ol' Steverino left his old pal standing on the bridge with his dick swinging in the breeze.
