You are indeed playing semantic games, and are clearly biased given that you have related products for sale. Also, please stop with the straw men.
That difference that can be very important, and your attempts to conflate them, presumably for marketing purposes, are obvious.
Whipsaw,
All I did was answer your questions. Sorry if I offended you.
I am here to show there is a superior methodology that exists in this industry and has for a very long time. We are capable of explaining more, having more experience, and seeing through the newfound world of decoupling products and their hundreds of manufacturers with their own stories.
Add to that, we are willing to put our products to any test in your own home with your own system. There are no straw men in that offer.
We also have a right to use AudioGon for advertising or promotional purposes as we pay a monthly fee to their advertising programs. There are a host of dealers, manufacturers, and reviewers doing this on all forum-based businesses. Some of them hide behind the smoke and others come forth and admit it. Either way, marketing is like vibration, it is everywhere.
Send me pics of your room and system. I will tell you what I think and recommend items, not necessarily ours, that will improve your system.
Robert
