Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls?

@bache True, I forgot to mention those brands. But at least I remembered to use proper punctuation, spaced my words and symbols correctly and was able to spell three letter words.

I agree completely with @soix in that it seems absurd to let audiotroy even use this forum, given the obvious conflict of interest on display in the majority of their posts. While this particular thread was not so egregious, I've seen many other examples where audiotroy pops into a thriving topic, badmouths the product(s) being discussed, and recommends an unrelated brand that they just so happen to sell. 

I'm sure audiotroy is nice enough and means well but it seems crazy that the mods let them basically have free reign to market like this. 

How are you defining the word transparent ? Does it mean great clarity , accuracy, definition? 

@ronboco 

If you actually want an answer to your question, you might direct it to the person you want queried. I scrolled up 10 posts and it appears you meant this for @bache, but I doubt he knows it.

I will reference @bache but I also thought others might say what it means to them. Thank you.
