I've been seriously pushing him to optimize ads, take sponsorship $$, or SOMETHING for longer than I can remember. I'm really, really glad this is happening. Marv is basically anti-monetization. I don't know wtf happened early in life, but homeboy hates asking anyone to pay for anything or to try to make money off something like this. Hell, he dislikes the thought of Chang even paying for itself. Meanwhile he's loaned gear (and even money when things were super tight) to tons of us here, given us deals, and really just been an incredibly giving human being.

 I know a lot of you see him as this crazy talking head who runs Changstar and drops forth the gospel on DACs and other audio gear, but he's one of the most down to earth, wonderfully unassuming people I have had the pleasure of calling a friend.
