Dealers hijacking the discussions

I’m a very long term member and look at the forums most every day. I’m personally extremely irritated by dealers injecting sales pitches into the discussions which has never really been a problem before. Dealers are biased as it’s the nature of business and this is fine but I don’t go to audiogon to see shameless promotion. There’s one guy in particular that needs to go away. The fact that you’ll all know who it is says volumes about the amount of posting this guy/dealer does on audiogon. Does anyone feel as I do. Just curious.

lmao,  No divorce at all.  Love their gear and I may still keep the AX5/20.  It's about whether I can afford the 15k for the new Vandersteen amp.  I'd then also need a good preamp.  I have to see if there is one in the 5k range, but that is a subject for another thread.

@ctsooner,
Sorry about the Georgia jibe, but you have to admit it was a good game.

And, as far as preamps go, wouldn't an Ayre be a good match for the Vandy amp?

Though I wouldn't disparage anyone for buying a 6 figure car, I find it sad that Wilson speakers depreciate so quickly/badly. Well, I would be sad as a designer.

Be thankful guys that you have a dealer/retailer near your locale. Some of us have to road-trip it to get Audio wares.
Happy Listening!

somebody send me an Ayre preamp and I will be happy to comment on its sonic qualities relative to my REF5se......wait...Jafant, i am a mere 19 miles form an Ayre dealer with a demo KXR.....i can borrow....

IF i dont currently own any Ayre product could I be called a fanboy ?

Jafant - i used to drive 5 hours to Atlanta to my local dealer....i bought a lot of stuff from him, different brands.....integrity, trust, goes a long way....still gets my business when we have no local dealer....
and techically I drive 1,200 mikes to my San Diego dealer - see if ya can beat that in good fun....
