Myles,

Although we can kow a lot from an audiophile preferences looking at his system, asking someone about a product he currently owns is usually a sure way of getting an over-enthusiastic positive opinion . If you ever consider Audio Research please email me, if I ever consider changing to cj I know who I will email ... ;)

Certainly fanboys are out there. You could ask them what they owned before or you could approach it like a doctor treating a disease and can't depend on just one test ;)

Good morning microstrip. I can agree to this but there is also a flip side that can also gain trust IMO. With all of the fluff and fanfare on products while folks own them, when someone relays to the forum that something didn't work or isn't working for them in their system, one can gain a bit of trust when the typical fluff is not all you get from a particular member.

+1. It would be counterproductive if there was just continual self promotion. Hearing of people's changes of mind and failed experiments would be so informative. An interesting counterpoint to fanboy/reviewer comments.
