Well, I'm 66. He looks at least 10 years older than my sorry ass does.

Despite what Wikipedia says, he was born in December 1951 so he’s 66. Speaking of which, I think it’s high time his Wikipedia page gets some SC maintainence performed on it.

From July 10, 2018: I am receiving from Grado the ultimate mono cartridge, the Grado Labs Epoch Monaural. List price, probably the same as the stereo, 12k. Has Steve really received $24k in free swag? My bullshit meter is going crazy....

He probably has. I mean, companies like Grado and Audio Note are run by con-men, so they are the perfect partners for STeVE. STeVE shills, they sell.
And it's not like they are losing any money giving their products to STeVE. One of those 12k cartridges cost probably 2 to 30 bucks to produce, depending on where they are made.
It's a match made in heaven, and these fuckers are laughing all the way to the bank.

An so is Steve, the donations may be a little bit lean this year but he probably still made enough to keep the site up and running with a little leftover for more Vicodin...

There was actually a thread a few weeks ago where that shitstain put one of his Audio Note phono stages up for sale. If I remember correctly, the price was 6k. And he got it for free "for review", and Audio Note approved the sale... Even though the "review" never happened.
Can you say "shill"? Can you say "corrupt"?
Stay classy, Daddy.

Shit, Steve would sell his ass faster than a twenty dollar crackwhore if it would keep his name in "the industry".

The "industry" of overpriced/under-engineered woo.
Where STeVE belongs.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that it's true. Brand X invested $12K in Steve Hoffman. Now, assuming their business acumen is somewhat sharper than, say Marsha's, who punted at least two companies, they're going to want something in return. The term shill has been tossed around freely, it rings true, so let's add that to the equation.
So. Steve receives cartridge gratis. Steve is expected to review/promote/sell/shill said cartridge in a positive way so as to enable Brand X to sell more cartridges.
Looks good. We now have a working symbiosis. But exactly where is Hooofman reviewing all this supposed swag? I find it very difficult to believe that for 12 large, Brand X is satisfied with the shitbag starting a thread in the hardware section of his fucking forums. The first and most logical place would be a prominent placing on their internet website. Plus a few ads here and there in the trade publications geared toward the potential customers.
Some time ago, I took a few minutes to visit one such internet presence. I forget the name of the company, it isn't important. But I posted what I found there here. And what I found was diddly-squat. Not one word from the esteemed EQ-twaddler anywhere - not even on the fucking review page.
So I remain steadfast. He may be starting threads on overpriced audio equipment but I maintain no one is sending him the shit gratis. As in "Apple sent me this new Macbook". Bullshit. Someone here posted a video in which Hooofbag admitted he wrote the company to ask for the speakers. The company did not contact him. He contacted the company.
That's our Daddy. And if it please the court, I would like to add that I don't believe one fucking word coming out of his mouth anyway. The asshole lies about everything. Christ, he can't even keep the time line of events in his own life straight. Because they never fucking happened. His complete presentation of his life is a pack of lies. I rest my case. Carry on.

I have written to Grado labs a couple of times asking them why their company chooses to partner with this idiot and his crypto alt-right minions. They never reply. I suggest that some of you also write to Grado and ask the same thing. Since Joe left the day to day and now for good Grado is a joke As in sucks out loud Perfect match for a Steve Hoffman cut and paste
