Bill,
i am an open book. if someone cares about such things they can read my posting history; i hide nothing.
i would remind you to disclose you are a commercial dealer in competition with the distributor you refer to. while i personally think your intentions are honorable from your point of view others should know about where you come from.
many/most prominent posters here have close relationships with dealers and manufacturers.....or even have become part of the hifi business themselves.....it's the nature of the culture of this hobby. if someone asks me about my relationship with any dealer i will and have told the story.
ultimately; each poster's credibility or lack there-of is earned with what they say over time.
