Dehavilland 50A has anyone purchased one?

Why do you not disclose that YOU are a dealer/tradesperson yourself?

He does.

Every single time he comments on a specific component or brand from a line he sells, he discloses that he's a dealer.

One of the few who do so.

You are quick to criticize others.

Why would I disclose that I do NOT carry DeHavilland?

You appear a bit confused.

Time to lower the Zoloft dosage.

This is a great thread. I use my name, Sounds Real Audio every time I leave a thread. I can't be clearer then that.

You must take Audiofall's advice and take what he says with a grain of salt, in every regard.

You're assuming people will read your moniker and connect that you're a dealer for the product.

Consider a situation where you might make positive comments about a product you don't sell. By your logic, readers should assume you're a dealer for the product even though you're not.

It's clearer to state explicitly that you're a dealer for a product that you're discussing and represent, IMO. It gets any agenda out on the table and removes questions of conflict of interest.

You are correct. Anytime a dealer/manufactures makes any statement smart readers should weigh the statements made.

In addition since Audiogon is a place where people sell their used gear even though they are not dealers/manufactures, readers should be skeptical of these posts as well.

The room at the RMAF where Dpe heard the 50A's was the deHavilland and Sounds Real Audio room so I don't think it is "evil" to jump in here with a little knowledge.
