I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
@optimize  “Have you done the experiment that you go to ASR and look up the WORST measuring power amplifier that Amir has measured.” +1 That is an excellent idea! I believe my best system is somewhere in the middle range of all this currently an... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I have not heard the others but I bought a Mini Gan 5 last year and it has a nice clean Class D presentation coupled with just a touch of 2nd harmonic warmth like you find with tubes and some Class A solid state.  
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
@spenav 👌  
How do you arrange the order of your records?
@mikelavigne 8 tons of records! My hat is off to you sir. My organizer of choice is Roon.

Blessings on you believers and agnostics alike! Doesn’t it come down to whether you think this hobby resides more in the realm of science or faith? If the former then challenge and refutation is the mothers milk of a truth seeker. If the latter th... 
The magic of outdoor listening
Wow! It takes a very large ego to believe that the music you are enjoying is enjoyed by everyone who also is forced to listen to it at any given time. How often has a car passed you with its windows open and music blaring and you have felt gratefu... 
Yeah, I'm aware of what day it is
My first thought was that it unintentionally parodied the audio business.  
Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else?
 @russ69  +1 The same thought ran through my mind when I read the OP‘s post. Maybe he should be looking for a pure class a amp?  It sounded like a description of what one might experience when a class a B amp switches from a to  B mode  
Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s?
@smodtactical   Possibly. I can say that I own a PS audio power plant 3 regenerator. It is one of the more expensive pieces I own. I bought it to protect my investment but my  assessment of whether it improved the sound was a close call. Admitted...

Hmm, their response to Amir‘s criticisms of their power reconditioner was not exactly convincing. Hard to tell at this point who is the joke.  
Amir and Blind Testing
@milpai  "Ask your guru to show how he measures a person's emotions." That is a little pejorative, don't you think? Your other points are fine, but your religious references make me think you might be investing this discussion with more signifi... 
Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?
@piaudiol   👍  
Amir and Blind Testing
What I take as Amir's main point seems to be lost among the personal attacks on him, most of which appear sadly mis-informed. What I hear him saying to the manufacturers of equipment which does poorly in his tests is "show us your data." Or conver... 
Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?
@atmasphere  Thanks for that link. My next acquisition may have to be some high impedance speakers! But tell me, can we cheat and just add a resistor in the line to a lower impedance speaker and get the same enhancement of performance from the am... 
Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?
@piaudiol  So we would agree there is no point to have a heavier cable between the wall plug and the amp than what is behind the wall plug running to the circuit breaker?
