If you were a design engineer/manufacturer, Bill, you would probably not be so smug nor disrespectful. The fact that Alex even participates in some of your baiting is remarkable to me - I certainly wouldn't.
It is always beneficial when a manufacturer is able to answer questions directly, as a number do from time to time on these forums. I find their input valuable as do many others. Your blatantly obvious "ax-to-grind" attitude towards Alex helps no one.

Audiofeil - I think that it would be beneficial to audio community in general if you write about your audio discoveries / experiences or whatever instead of wasting your time bashing other manufacturers / products / dealers.
It is not fun to read anymore (if ever was) and is just annoying.

To chime in on the topic input quality here, I'm also inclined to state that, over the years, Audiofeil´s sour sarcasm and aggressiveness are hardly enjoyable. Ceaseless negative posting in the h-cat preamp thread comes to mind. Maybe Audiofeil has lost sight of the fact that he is a dealer, while AP invents and manufactures his machines. Or maybe, he rather has not? Clearly, the dealerless business model of the genius-freaks behind APL, Wyred, H-Cat, Empirical Audio, Altmann and many others is quite contrary to what might be to the liking of a noblemainstream-products retailer.
Yes, some inventor-entrepreneur´s model politics and marketing slogans (New World Order and the like) may be questionable or well over the top. However I find the existence of those tiny avantgarde/non mainstream companies refreshing and vital. As well as their founder´s contributions in the forums, as long as sales intentions are not blindingly obvious.
