| The Emotiva Challenge Labtech, I no longer read 'The Audio Critic.' It's very hardcore objectivism, and it's not fair and balanced. Same old crap; "all amps sound the same," "a wire hanger is good enough for cabling," and "measurements tell the whole story." Maybe you ... | |
| What preamp between Burmester and Krell? I have yet to hear anything by Burmester, but I look forward in doing so. From what I've heard and read, it is head and shoulders above Krell, Levinson, etc. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I like many hear am a sucker for good sound, so I find high end audio interesting. What better way to waste time than talking about what is high end or not. :^)I do too! I've been into high end audio since the mid 80s when I was a teenager. Sure, ... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I see your point Frogman, thanks for that. I basically agree with it as well. | |
| The Emotiva Challenge It's ALWAYS been a direct correlation to sound quality.*sigh* You know, I used to be an objectivist. I read 'The Audio Critic' with a zeal, and felt the same way you do.Anyway, that's hogwash. Measurements are important, but they only tell part of... | |

| My LED ZEP 2 pressing anything special Ok, cool. Thanks for chiming in. Much appreciated. | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? That's cool, Ozzy. Is there anything you like about it so far, or is it too early to tell? | |
| The Emotiva Challenge No, the Emotiva fanboys drink Kool-Aid, if you know what I mean! ;) | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Ok, I would agree there as well. | |

| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Well, there's always exceptions to the rule. Good point. I don't really disagree with you there. |
