| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I've learned a lot from this forum and have received some helpful advice, and for that I am grateful. I've also noticed that there are those who post here that seem to have a lot of misplaced emotion and are self appointed authorities on everythin... | |

| I Cried Today Thanks for your post what a great gift Mr. Hoffman left his son | |
| Which Would You Choose? It seems that if in fairness to those seeking an opinion, those rendering an opinion should give the basis for the opinion. If you believe a component is "midfield" whatever that is, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Obviously, if you ha... | |
| Which Would You Choose? To answer the question you posed, I own the Michi S5 and I have been very satisfied with the performance. As someone said, it's probably not going to compete with an amp three times the price, but that should be no surprise. I recently was lookin... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Yes, Sonus Faber Il Cremonese suits my room and delivers very satisfying sound doubt I'll be moving on from them | |

| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) Given that you like the dynaudio sound, I would think the confidence series would be the most natural path. I've had a chance to hear them a few times and they sound really good, the only negative I heard is i thought they lost a lot off axis | |
| Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? For something with a similarly detailed sound characteristic, but not as bright or harsh you might consider the paradigm persona five f. I find that these offer the detail and resolution of the.Focal but not overly bright If you are interested ... | |

Read lots of reviews, etc. not so much to pick the merchandise but just to learn the jargon and get a feel for what you are looking for Make your... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch What a fascinating discussion with a very predictable arc. You can't hear a difference. No, I can hear a difference. You can't hear a difference because my science says you can't hear a difference. No, I can hear a difference because my science is... | |
