Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth?
With all class D amps I have heard, the music tends to lay on the speaker surface. This includes the amps with the tube like module at Axpona this year. Got most everything else correct, but had a flat characteristic. Having said this I was impres... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
waytoomuch discusses being on the losing end of a conversation. What conversation? People now talk at instead of with.  Who wants to think when discussions now are see as causing trauma and not growth.

And enter nonoise. Like a moth to flame. Political leanings have nothing to do with views on moral relativism. The right simply acknowledges its existence. Oh and this is not inviting debate because you will win the argument because you are correc... 
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
Is the dealer mafia like the teacher mafia or the plumber mafia or the car sales mafia? I always love it when individuals draw a line in the sand regarding the value of (always) other people's time.

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
Nothing is accomplished by lying to a group of listeners in a double blind. The fact the listeners, presumably, heard differences proves nothing other than the human tendency to believe what others (audio professionals) tell them. I hope no one is...

I will add that anyone participating in a DBT typically has a dog in this fight. They either want or dont want to hear a difference. The results can be tainted accordingly. The objectivist have created just as viable a market by taking a vocal pos... 
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?

Tubes, Tubes and more Tubes...
"NOS" means never used except in your tester. Most come with original boxes, some JAN tubes do not. This term is overused and one of the tube dealers mentioned above sells "NOS in white boxes" which means test as new in white boxes. Not the same t... 
We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio?
In no way can older cars compete with the newer "super" cars. Same, I say, with audio although the difference in this realm is not as great as in the automotive.   
Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated
These terms only have merit if they are correctly applied and defined. As an example I find Harbeth speakers highly colored and far from neutral but many who own this speaker think they are among the most neutral especially in terms of vocals and ...

Actually what you need to know is the sound of the recording before it goes through the monitors. I always am forced to laugh when people claim the best way to hear a recording in your home system is by using the same speakers they used in the stu...

Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
