Sure seems to me that Dave and Troy (The Audio Doctor) have managed to alienate Oddiofyl somewhere along the line. Thus, his/her focus includes some cautionary notes for the rest of us.
I have received some really, really helpful insights from many, many good-hearted and well-informed hobbyists and professionals alike-- right here on Audiogon. The help has clarified my focus on how to proceed-- like buying Jim Smith's book "Get Better Sound."
At the same time, please include me on the list of offering cautionary notes regarding engaging with, or purchasing anything from, Dave and Troy (The Audio Doctor).
