@devinplombier - This is a thread where folks are celebrating with a poster who recently retired and has already "made the last upgrade to my system for enjoyment in retirement". The OP isn't looking for a new server so the unsolicited interjection of a sales pitch in this thread is, at a minimum, bad form.
Also, this has nothing to do with how good or not the products are that audiotroy is peddling, but rather that he chooses to relentlessly peddle them on these forums as if it were his own private marketing playground. Also, it is usually doesn't go like, "hey, consider giving this a try", but more often a harder sell, like, "we have tried what you own and it doesn't hold a candle to the 432Evo Aeon," along with an implication that the sales target's substandard system needs their product in order to achieve some acceptable level of performance, i.e., "if you want to take your system's sound quality up a notch". It usually comes across as audiotroy telling others what they need to do, and for self-serving reasons.
