AGD Tempo in the house
@milpai to each his own regarding respect. TBH, I’m not sure where all of this stuff originated. No doubt folks have their own opinions about these things. I just try to be fair in calling balls and strikes.   
AGD Tempo in the house
@mikepowellaudio I write in defense of at least one post on this thread from @twoleftears. I know this A-goner very well and I believe him to be straight shooter regarding the vast majority of his posts. He references a YouTube video you posted on... 
AGD Tempo in the house
@arafiq I agree with your comfort level with buying from dealers whom you trust. For similar reasons, I will continue to buy from @mikepowellaudio.   
AGD Tempo in the house
There appears to be some confusion and/or disconnect about the relationship of @mikepowellaudio to 11Stereo and the relationship of both as a dealer to AGD products. (Mikey is an AGD dealer via his business name. His website is 11Stereo.) I’m not ... 
Evaluating Equipment-induced EMI noise in one’s audio system
@steakster I agree with everything you said in your recent post. I also don’t listen to my system with a TriField EMI measuring device. But I’m finding it as a useful tool to quickly decide whether a given component contributes significant EMI noi...

Evaluating Equipment-induced EMI noise in one’s audio system
So let’s begin! My journey into this arena begins with my confounded findings of certain power line noise introduced into my audio system. In one instance, I did not understand how much EMI noise entered my audio system and the source of that noi... 
Have At Err!
@navyachts While I agree with your last post that cables are controversial, fuses are far worse. Lol  
Have At Err!
@maxima95 Hey, long time! I hope you are well. I am the author of the comment from OCD Mikey’s YouTube channel you cited. (I go by “Drago Celander” on YouTube. lol) I’ve been one of Mikey’s clients since 2019, having bought a Jay’s Audio CDT2 MK2 ...

I find this entire thread at odds with my personal experience with OCD Mikey. I’ve bought a few items from him. All have performed as advertised.   
What should be mandatory in every professional published review-
