The thing is ...

... in this very small corner of the audio world, most "manufacturers" are mighty small scale. It's really a pretty grey area, where the boundary is between a hobbyist and a factory. If you sell your old amp so you can build another one, are you a factory? Of course not. Can you be an enthusiastic hobbyist even if you sell several amps? Of course you can. Do you have to be a good scientist with degrees and peer-reviewed papers in order to post here? Guys, it's an Asylum!

Dennis is IMHO more enthusiastic than greedy. You can tell that he's more interested in the hobby than in just making money hand over fist - we're not talking Krell or Mark Levinson here.

Now I don't exactly agree with Dennis' conclusions about WHY things happen, but I love that he will tell you what he hears and describe the experiment in enough detail that you can do your own interpretation. I have no doubt at all that he is reporting accurately. That's generous, and it's useful; few of us have done as much careful listening and it's expensive to do. Sure, you have to parse what he says, knowing his personal biases and beliefs. You have to do the same with mine, or anyone else here. Did I mention this is an Asylum?

My two cents.
