I am not making any disguises here, but thank you for the free advertising, however, I gave up retail months ago, nor do I have not a single piece of either of the aforementioned for sale or own personally, but have heard it and man it was good! Just a few simple comments regarding great audio alternatives. Neither have I dis-credited or even mentioned another competitors brand. Don't see what the problem is and neither does anyone else. I am interested in hi-fi just like everyone else, and consider these pages a great source for information. There are MANY great brands which are shared here, some by personal consumers, and I think it's also quite obvious, many by dealers or associates too. But don't take much of this with anything but a grain of salt as I suspect that anything the moderators are paid not to like will just disappear.
Would you like me to also identify all the sources who post here as well? Thats easy, but what would be the point.
Just give it a rest man, it's a free country
