| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie "For example, the sound of a classically trained voice is like fingernails on a blackboard" "Your subjective tastes are not some sort of universal standard by which to measure others’ esthetic (sic) preferences.". Well some have taste and others ... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie No Opera, no Beethoven, Bach, Mozart? No Jethro Tull, Rick Wakeman.? I really do not like your list much. There might be 5 or 6 on your list I would want. | |
| What DAC to buy? "+1 the Topping is a sonic bargain." Only if it keeps working. Topping quality control is dreadful. Look at the number of minions on ASR who complain about the brand's quality. | |

| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Also of course no music collection is complete without some Musica Nuda. | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? No opera? Good grief. Ok Jordi Saval Ibn Battuta Buena Vista Social Club Agaetis Byrjun Another one - Norbu. | |

| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? @soix How is my comment "insulting, condescending, and just flat-out wrong." when you have just proved it by not knowing who one of the most important Chinese hi fi engineers is? For all I know maybe you have never heard of Bruno Putzey, Andreas ... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? @soix You have yet again proved my point. The number of high quality non US brands with which US posters here are unfamiliar is legion. | |

| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? @ghdprentice "No I have not heard AM.". I am extremely surprised as I would expect anyone interested in high quality equipment and with "50 years of experience" to be familiar with Fang from Stereo Knight, even though not a lot are sold in the U... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? @ghdprentice "The performance of these products far exceeds anything from China." Not everything from China. Have you heard of AM? The amplifiers and Dac made by this company match and even surpass the best of US and Japanese valve equipment. Lo... |
