Snifff... You are right. I am so damn insecure that I need my peers to
validate my purchases. How can I go on????

You are telling someone a: something you haven't heard needs fixing
and b: what they need to buy to fix it - without suggesting they hear
either one first. I often wonder whether the Speakeasy guys are
trying to convince everyone else they need one or themselves that
they haven't wasted their money. As hard as you guys push these
things, one has to wonder who really needs convincing. I've heard
various recordings where these are used, and even allowing for the
quality of the recording, I don't see where there is any improvement.
Usually, they make the keyboard sound as if it has been castrated.
But that is just my opinion. If it sounds good to you, go for it.
