| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 jssmith That's why I always say "If you didn't hear it blind, you didn't hear it."That's silly. I hear my system make lovely sounds quite frequently, yet I almost never listen to it blind. | |

| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? defiantboomerang A hobbyist group is fine, nobody objects to that.Some here have objected - very loudly - and they have insisted on scientific data to accompany observations. That's just silly on a hobbyist site. But being a hobbyist does not m... | |
