I used to believe in this too. The positive education always somehow turns out to be sucking up to the manufacturers. Now the only chance for us i think is to just be rough, proud and treat the manufacturers the way they deserve. The more people=customers or potential customers do so, the better chance, and that doesn't concern just this one issue. We're the ones who pay. And if audioscience can provide it, so can anybody else. Marek
