The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered
@tablejockey it seems as this is just being discovered so I don't think that is the case. Some have their take on tubes, but calling it "audiophoolery" is a disservice to innovation. I don't think brands like Shunyata would be using it if it provi...

I’d have a hard time believing studying cryogenics has been going on for decades. Possibly metalurgy, but not cryogenics. But you honestly believe that nothing new or cutting edge is in a scientific journal? A hifi website and a guy has already be... 
The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered
@thecarpathian essentially freezing an item has to do with the way electrons flow through the item. That's exactly the point. I'm not a +60 year old audiophile like most here, so I found this article about metallurgy and freezing an item to have a...

@thecarpathian the definition of cryogenics is: Merriam-Webster  : of or relating to the production of very low temperatures b: being or relating to very low temperatures   This article has to do with how electrons move at very cold temperatu...

@tablejockey what about cable users? Or cryo on components/tubes? Seem to be there is some effect.

@eric5kim was I too on the nose? Lol.  
Devore / Bay Area
I can think of another bay area dealer that told me "We carefully source our gear from the best in the industry. If we don't stock it then you're not buying quality gear". We need better dealers here in the Bay, I haven't been to one that I've app...

@frogman spot on. So many here want to criticize a reviewer for trying a tweak or SR product and then also criticize them on the opposite side of the review. This whole non-start ideology is not productive.  And the reviewers seem to know a whole...

@mr_m you can speculate as much as you'd like. I work in sales with contractors face to face, daily. I don't think I'd be the guy who would be offered by Michael Fremer, sorry.   
Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet
@mr_m I wouldn't take it to heart. I personally choose not to let someone who is in their feelings and unable to articulate how they feel to dictate their entire persona. Maybe people have bad days and say the wrong thing? Maybe he meant it and is...

@bdp24 Spot on. Some here dislike a person over one trivial human flaw. Or even choose to hate a person over reviewing luxury good. It's pretty nauseating to have to see how arrogant and self involved some are. Fremer has done great stuff for the ... 
Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers.
Hey @ghdprentice could you tell me a little bit more about the detail differences from ARC to Primaluna? I run Primaluna separates and I've been eyeing ARC preamps and assumed that my Dialogue Premium is on par with the ARC LS28 and improvements w...

@frogman his quirky personality and how he speaks his truth is why I've enjoyed him so much. Plus he's hilarious. There are so many sticks in the mud in audio and all this weird classism over products +$100k, I've always gravitated to the guy. Sur...

Pointless drivel about someone else's pointless drivel. Great.    Looks like it's been posted: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/eminent-audio-reviewer-michael-fremer-returns-to-the-absolute-sound
