I'm new to the board and don't understand the stuff going on with alan electronics and yes, I checked out the "rants" from May of this year and included one of my own.
What's the issue? Caveat Emptor of course. I live within driving distance of thier store in Kalamazoo and plan to check them out, being somewhat leary of sending my money over the net when I can actually physically touch the product, what the heck, I'll see how they do against my little homebrew six footer.
