Hi mods please put in the right section when necessary.

I joined AoS thinking it was probably the most straight forward & honest HiFi forums.

Unfortunately I don't think that now. Reading quite a few posts I sense that there's a degree of 'promoting' other members gear.
Of course I'm going to get a load of £h1t for suggesting this but having spoken to other members in person I'm not too bothered, they feel the same.
Stop overrating your friends product.
The integrity of this forum is very important.
