| What Gear is Universally Adored? Genelec monitors are held in very high esteem in "pro reviews" and I see no negative feedback on pro forums, especially the Ones. | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? It's usually DACs that test the limits of the Audio Precision analyzers. I've never heard NAD purifi amps but I have heard the Purifi modules as well as different hypex and Pascal implementations. They've all sounded good to me as in I couldn't at... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? I don't think NAD uses Purifi modules, they license the technology and build their own. | |

| My take on subjective vs. objective I believe it was Harman tests that showed "most" people liked a flat FR and wide dispersion speakers, but yes, speakers are a different story. | |
| My take on subjective vs. objective So what do you call it when a person passes a double blind test and prefers one sound over the other? We just call that preference and say that preference is not subjective? DB tests of electronic equipment like DACs, amplifier etc.. are usual... | |
