One more thing (Boy, am I long-winded today!)...
In these forums, you see an awful lot of skepticism about the HEA industry. Some of it is - no doubt - justified... especially about certain dealers.
OTOH, over the past 10-12 years I've had the opportunity to become acquainted with a number of audio designers, distributers & dealers. MOST of them are really nice, honest folks who love music and want you to enjoy it. (And, yes, they hope to make a lot of $$ helping you enjoy it.)
Don't assume that ALL of them are just in it for a buck. A few are! But most of them are a lot more like you. (Don't you wish you could make a living in HEA, or whatever your favorite hobby is?)
I'm not saying you can trust ALL of these people. But don't paint them all with the same brush. The majority really are good guys.
