| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC @cleeds I think you missed what I was getting at, you are going to have manufacturers and reviewers all over the world, so just talking about the first amendment is irrelevant. That's why we need some sort of standards which would be adhered to by... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC So-called professional reviewers is just an unnecessary leeching layer to the industry. They all naturally driven by free buck and indeed have no credibility. But these manufacturers are also happy to feed such reviewers who in turn provide glo... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC What would you do, dilute the First Amendment? There is already a process in place for dealing with things like this. First amendment is applicable only if both manufacturer and the reviewer are in US. So for a lot of cases it is not going to b... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC There is problem with both parties (I am not talking about DCS vs Golden Ear case), manufacturers and the reviewers. Such incidents is just showing the issues with big manufacturers. Whats about the reviewers/review sites offering rewards to to e... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC @laoman, whatever happens in this case will happen, but my point is beyond this case. I think it's high time that there needs to be some standard guidelines set for reviewers and manufacturers. Because of the lack of regulation a manufacturer can ... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU In my experience power amps are not really susceptible to EMI because of larger signals that they deal with. Hence if you connect a power amp to these EMI filters/Power conditioners you are not going to hear much of improvements. Whereas if you c... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU The only type of power conditioner that actually does something is a DC blocker. All others are designed to drain the wallets of the gullible. One needs to measure the DC on the mains to really know if DC blockers is actually needed. If it's n... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU Did you compare it to the Puritan 156 and which one actually sounded better on your system ? If you didnt hear the comparison then which spec’d out better? No I did not hear the Puritan 156, but I did tried to find out the specs, which like all... | |
| Anyone compared Merging+NADAC to other top dogs like Rockna, dcs, MSB etc. @azjake, I know of it. I am having an eye on it since Merging announced its development and their own exit from the audiophile business after takeover by Sennheiser. Just curious, have you heard it? or do you own it? It would be very interesting ... | |

| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @facten I heard about those brands from you for the first time. Those brands could be in business for long, no doubt about that. But I just had a look at their spec sheet to know the product performance because for EMI filter that's all is needed... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @j-wall what's there to be lost in that section? I am just stating the response that I got from Audiophile Power Conditioner manufacturers. In fact such response from manufacturers is beyond my understanding, unless all they want to promote is lis... | |

| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @faten I looked at all ZeroSurge, Brickwall and SurgeX and all three provide the EMI filtering ratings of just lab condition while saying they have non MOV surge suppressor (which even OnFilter has), so the differentiating point is specified 1:100... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @wsrrsw yes it is sanely priced compared to other audiophile brands, but OnFilter is half it's price and better performance. From their demo at shows it can be deduced that their EMI attenuation performance is around 20dB, whereas OnFilter perform... |
