My local dealer has a decent return policy also but I hear you on the 
situation of things being set up.  Many times it is the same here too.  
However, my dealer has a LiquidMix *and* a SSL Duende set up that I'm 
hoping to try one of these days when I have a few hours to burn.

Maybe I'm just sensitive to distortion but I found the AFTER file quite 
distorted when I listened to it.  I found it hard to make a good 
comparison because the levels were hotter also.  Human nature is to 
prefer the louder one typically.

A nice situation to be in though. :-)

Thanks again for doing this.
