Unoear: I never said any such thing. You are misquoting me and manipulating the truth as you have in this past as it suits you. I have heard the Rockport many, many times in many different configurations. I have even spent quite a bit of time list... 
Why do i hear a thud when i shut down the system?
turn off the amp first and wait a few minutes then turn off the preamp.

Herman: Not true at all. When I was registered as a private user, I was a private user. Not only that, if you look at the earlier post by me I fully disclosed my affiliation as did Steve Nugent. I guess we can never have enough police, but thanks ...

Herman: You stated: "Just an FYI for anybody new to the forums.....Audioengr and Jtinn both are selling something. I've never dealt with either but it is incomprehensible that someone who is selling a product in this category wouldn't have a biase...

Phaelon: Your point in the previous post was well taken. I took offense to Steve's insinuation.All I was trying to say is if the DAC is designed properly, the things mentioned by Steve are of no importance.I certainly never intended for this to ge...

Steve: Your statement of "I believe in honesty" is a desperate attempt at discrediting me and quite disappointing. As a DAC manufacturer, if you truly believe what you are saying, then it is clear to me that you do not have the knowledge or techno...

Audioengr: With all due respect Steve, you could not be more wrong. The DAC IS the ONLY thing that is important. If the DAC is designed correctly than very little else matters (hard drives, jitter, computer power supplies, etc.To prove this point ... 
Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds
Fiddler:You stated:"Sometimes it just takes a while to overcome our prejudices :)"It is not prejudice, it is experience. :)I am always open minded whenever I listen to anything. 
Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds
Fiddler: I respectfully stand by my statement. I have tried the Hypex and Spectron amplifiers as well as many other digital amplifiers and none, so far, have approximated the sound of a good analog amplifier.Sorry. 
Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds
I definitely would not use a digital amplifier with the Eidolon Diamonds. Not a good match with the mids or tweets.I have heard wonderful sound with the Eidolon Diamonds and the Pass Labs XA160.5. The amplifier is Class A and can drive almost anyt... 
Getting hooked on 12" 45 rpm reissues
I totally agree. What took you so long :) 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Douglas: That is absolutely correct. Our diminutive mid-woofer driver is actually built like a subwoofer.

Robsker: Thanks for your understanding and your well wishes. Please let me know if you ever get to hear the MMMicros. I would love to know what you think.Douglas: Thank you as well.Charles1dad: I now find myself thanking everybody :)

Doc77: Fair enough. But when your friend makes completely wrong statements as he did, he might not be an idiot just one prone to idiotic statements :) As a side note, I know some people who have been in this business for much longer than 20 years ... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Agisthos: How much should one spend on an amp and preamp for the MMMicroOne? Would 8k for an amplifier be unreasonble? How about 8k for a preamplifier? The darTZeel CTH-8550 is 20k but also includes a fantastic phonostage. Is it really that unreas...
