Dave is quite the gentleman, and always speaks his mind, even when I think he shouldn't!
His respect for others' designs and products, including Daking, Manley, Crane Song, Avalon, etc is based in part on his knowing how hard they all work to get it right.
What they all have in common is the passion with which they approach their designs and their business. This is a tough industry, especially during tough times, and not everyone is getting rich. In an era of me-too, carbon-copy cheezy signal processors from mass-market manufacturers, it is refreshing to see products from the smaller, passionate manufacturers be so highly respeceted and stay in demand.
