Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review
Never understood the importance that many Audiophiles place on reviews. I learned early on that Adcom did not live up to the "giant killer" status AHC claimed. After 1 year of ownership the Adcom(545) stack was trading in for Amber(conrad-johnson)...

Are You a Swifty?
@tylermunns I appreciate the intelligent response. Human nature wants to compare... Camaro/Mustang etc. Yes, I’m over 50 but I will listen to new(er) music so I can honestly evaluate it, the sound quality of recent recordings has been as problema... 
Are You a Swifty?
@tylermunns    What is your point? Should she be compared to Ritchie Blackmore or Ian Gillan?
