The review wehave been promising is up

From Dave’s post:

Another point we offer a two week unconditional return trial

There are many dealers/manufacturers who get the approval of the anti-Dave crew here who do not offer this option. Dave is putting his money where his mouth is. To me that’s more important than a soft sell approach

Just keep in mind that the posters here who are not involved in the audio industry except as users of the products are even less objective than those who work in the industry. They have less experience with a variety of audio products, have a lower level of listening skills and their tastes in audio gear and music are all over the map and we have no idea where those tastes are on the map. There are exceptions, of course, and you can have a conversation that provides useful information about a product you’re interested in.

People write rave reviews here for gear that I have sold because I didn’t like it or just found something better. There are all kinds of people raving about gear that has to be the best because they own it. There are unofficial clubs, think Vandersteen or Magnepan, where the members think there is no question their brand is the best, and for those people that may be true, but not necessarily for everyone.

I don’t have a problem with posts by dealers in general or Dave Lalin in particular. If I go into a dealer’s store I expect him to try to sell me the gear he sells. I would fall over if he told me, You know, the guy across town sells what you need. It’s much better for you than the stuff we’re selling.

If I find that I don’t like the posts of a particular contributor, I don’t read them, and I take all posts with a huge grain of salt.

so maybe you’ll finally be able to understand the brewing cancer they are on this site.

@soix, With you on the job, I sleep well knowing Audiogon is safe from all kinds of industry mischief.  Thanks!  I need the sleep.

@soix, this stuff really gets you riled up doesn't it?  While I appreciate your concern for us, the solution is don't read his posts, don't reply to them.  You would be surprised how much that would eliminate the problem of lengthy threads about misbehaving dealers and bring you and others much peace of mind. 

Personally, I don't think that Dave is going to trap anyone into buying something they don't want.. As long as he discloses that he is a dealer for the product he is recommending I think he's within bounds..  His 14 day unconditional return policy on the 432 EVO is something I would like to see other dealers offer more often.

I don't think there are many threads on Audiogon where someone asks what do people think of this product, and he immediately gets numerous responses saying forget that product, buy this one.  It's so common I would be surprised if I read a thread where it didn't happen.
