    It's a difficult one to judge, especially someone like me who has had to endure all sorts of attacks on myself and my products.
    I do agree though that pushing one's favourable view of a technology can become tiring to others. That's why I hardly describe what I do and why I do it in terms of technological advancement. Instead I leave it up to the individual to listen and decide if what they hear pleases them. The technology is there to aid in the development and make things sound better.
    A case in point is my new Caiman power supply. I haven't been bragging on and on about how good it is in my eyes etc. What I did instead is to offer a full money back guarantee if the technology embedded in it did not make any difference to the listening experience. If the end-user can't hear a difference, then there is no difference. Right?
    I discovered long time ago that no matter how much engineering and apparent advantages one particular technology has over another, it's the end user who decides what's right for them. Roll on betamax etc.
    Where shippy, and many others go wrong, is believing that only their method and recommendation is the right one, and that everyone else who doesn't go along with that idea must be reeducated with force. Fortunately, in the audio domain we still have enough freedom to make up our own mind.
