Dear Lew: That specific reviewer IMHO is a " shame " for the audio environment.

Unfortunately he ( like other " pro " reviewers. ) has the " power " of a free-pen with out anyone to " stop ", sending/making wrong/corrupted audio information given to the audio customers: mis-information, confusion, false myths, non know-how advise and non sense reviews. Far from help this kind of people IMHO do a lot of harm to the whole audio industry.

IMHO this is one part/reason why exist so much mediocrity in the high-end audio industry and these kind of reviewers are important part of that mediocrity.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Axel: I think there is a misunderstood on communication. A long thread with so much information can help to understanding " troubles " like this one you " feel ".

IMHO I can't think that Lew has its own " agenda " looking to achieve some target different of what the thread is.
I know Lew and I can say " free " that is a trusty person in a whole mean.

I had and still have ( now less ) several troubles with the people brcause of the way I'm ( I mean so direct and not " politic ". ) and because problems to understand and to communicate due my not so good English.

This kind of things happen everyday in a forum like this but I'm sure that almost all ( including Lew ) the people that post here are " good meaning " and honest with them.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Axel and Dave: This dialogue was/is a learning one for me and I'm sure that for other people too, thank you to share your knowledge about.

What I confirm through it is that the SUT option in a non perfect world ( like the audio one. ) has several trade-offs and by my experience with commercial SUT's ( many too many to name it: from Expressive Technologies to the lowest AT model. ) no one till today can beat a good active gain design at least not the one I'm using ( but I heard other today active gain stages that are really good too. ).

Axel, I don't have any doubt that for what you already heard through SUTs your bias are on them against an active Phonlinepreamp but I wonder if you already experienced the " right " active gain devices.

Nothing is perfect ( SUT or active gain devices. ) but my " bias " ( till today ) is on active gain Phonolinepreamps, I like/prefer its trade-offs over the SUT ones. Maybe is time to make a SUT design journey, I can't say if it is worth to do it.

Anyway again thank's to both of you.

Regards and enjoy the music.
