Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community

@sns 

Hifi is all about preferences and opinions and all analogue is a perfectly legitimate tried and tested way of going about things.

However, Darko is absolutely spot with point no. 7 - digitisation is very far from a sonic disaster for analogue sources.

Linn’s Urika II digital phono stage is a big upgrade on the all analogue equivalent. Plus, digitisation offers the prospect of further reducing noise, distortion and interference in the preamp and crossovers.

"I suppose that there are those that care.  I'm not one."

Yet you cared enough to post a comment.

Everything could be confirmation bias. Let’s all just abandon hifi altogether.

"The problem with Darko is the lack of substance. He is an entertainer and he is content by scratching the surface, barely. Some of these are recycled points and some of them are so contrived "nobody said ever" it's painful to read. From his mouth it will reach a larger audience."

It might appear a bit simplistic to us audiophiles, but that's what Darko has to do to appeal to a wide audience.

Nevertheless, most of what he says is valid.

Sorry, I misunderstood your comments.

It’s unfortunate that the likes of Darko try to wind us up to get attention.

Yet, he is capable if doing more detailed and thoughtful features such as this interview with Peter Cormeau. https://darko.audio/2023/10/podcast-10-hi-fi-myths-busted-w-peter-comeau/ It still has a clickbait title though.
