When people ask for advice on this forum regardless of any board i think that Nigel should insist that anyone who puts forward an opinion who is in the trade should have it stated in the column with their name ie, George Kaye instrument supplier,WDMcM genesys Manager,etc,because i think it is unfair if a manufacturer gives an opinion without stating his connection, for some newer members asking an opinion and someone in the business to say its the best board on the market,is liable to believe the pitch,and a lot of new members DO tend to buy on recommendations.One of the biggest problems with GEM is that they are not found in many shops,Gem should either place them in lots more stores or,if they are as good as they say ,then why don,t they offer 30 day money back guarrantee if not satisfied?George for all the years i have known him (from this site)has been honest and fair,who knows what he talks about ,has all of the major boards in his store to compare,if he says that a NEW TYROS 2 compares better and cheaper than a 4 year old model GENESYS ,i would tend to believe him.mike
ps, i noticed that WDMcM have their credentials at the bottom of their thread,but think it should be at the top.
