Audio Doctor,
On a supportive note: I have no problem with dealers posting. I think most dealers are enthusiasts like us and the fact they have listened to and have access to a wide range of gear makes a dealer's input *potentially* valuable. I'm a big boy, I take my grain of salt when reading a dealer's post. But I'm still happy to read them and get what I can.
On a bit more negative note, this is the only part of your post that tripped me up a bit:
That does, frankly, sound rather pitch-man like. The advice to try such items - one's you just happen to be ready to sell the reader.
Looking at such advice, and some of the cables and "treatments" listed your web site, for me it's a bit like walking into someone's office billing himself as a "doctor" only to find out I'm being pitched homeopathy or healing crystals. But I confess I have less patience for the snake oil aspects of this industry than most others here, it seems.

Ask yourselves are you using power conditioning, power cables, room tuning, vibration isolation, air treatment/electrical field conditioning, devices, footers, before you swap components, you might be surprised to find sometimes adding an accessory or two will make your system better.
