| Amir and Blind Testing " the manufacturer is not willing to foot the expense of well conducted, objectively fair listening tests to support their claim " What is measured? Sinad? Look up how useful sinad is and you will see that it is not that useful. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing You need to ask two things: 1) why do some other independent measurements differ from those of ASR? 2) What happens to the dacs etc when they have been tested. Re 1) I suspect that certain manufacturers send cherry picked equipment, and Re 2 I d... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing I can do without the obvious conflict of interest and ego, though. Yes that is difficult to do with the ASR master and his minions. Ask yourself why certain brands always score highly and get recommended.There is a distinct conflict of interest. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @ Coltrane1: "This is a troll question and insult to any audiophile." Well that is either a deliberate trolling post or just a very ignorant one. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) bigkidz clearly has not heard SOTA class D and so is unwilling to comment on Mola Mola or Spec. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @bigkidz, so what is your opinion of Mola Mola and Spec for example, if you are still waiting to hear the great Class D sound? | |
| Amir and Blind Testing I read ASR when I want a laugh. For someone to say you do not need to listen to a piece of equipment before buying it and also that the synergy of various components makes no difference is so funny. Seriously, the site is a joke. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) If I were looking for a new amp, I would be looking at Mola Mola monoblocks. | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? Clearthinker, again you are not thinking clearly. ATC speakers use class A/B amps, not class D. | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? @ghdprentice That said high quality floor standing speakers out perform active ones at this time. The folks at KII Audio would take offense in that statement 😊. I would have to agree with them. Not just the folk at Kii, but also Dutch and ... | |
| Most beautiful turntable under $5k For under 5000, Kuzma Stabi S. Nothing comes close at that price. For unlimited funds, I would be happy with a Stabi R and a 4 point 9 inch arm or for more a CSPort TAT 2M2 | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? No. Equipment today is far better quality. | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui Thanks. When the nonsense from the fanbois is removed from Audiogon there is a lot of valuable information. That is why I joined. | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui Verdantaudio, that is a great post. I was not aware that the Dream dac was releasing a new model with a streaming module. That is a game changer. The Dream dacs were designed by the a genius. I will need to listen to this new model as well. Thanks... | |
