Just like everything else all of us have an opinion. I just don’t understand why Audio Doctor’s postings bothers people so much. We know he’s a dealer and as such will promote what he sells. Don’t "we" have enough sense to take what he says with a "big grain of salt"? I take every recommendation with a grain of salt and hope people take what I say with a grain of salt. Dealer or not, we have our own biases! I’ve talked to him several times and have challenged him on several recommendations, because in my system I had already compared the cables in question and preferred the product he said was so inferior. He has an opinion just like anyone else. I would love to visit his store and hear some of the components he talks about and decide their merits with my own ears. Listening to different components is how I learn and grow in this hobby.
This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.
I am buying Dynaudio C-1 Platinums and would like an ideal amp. Which would you choose? I prefer solid state. Separates or integrated. If you could recommend a few optimum choices that would be great. Based on my short couple years on here you strike me as very knowledgable on the subject. My dealer wants me on Pass Labs. Incidentally right now I have the Devialet 400 and I’m pretty sure you are not a fan of this type of amp. Any of your wisdom is appreciated. Thanks, Mike
