Chinese DAC's
Wise post! I dont need to write anything more...     I learned long ago when I could still hear well that electronics account for a small part of one’s sound compared to transducers and room acoustics. But like most of us I like nice things,... 
Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy
However, after all of that, he concludes that they are better for jazz and orchestral and perhaps a bit reticent for pop and rock. This made no sense to me, especially for a $40.000 speaker. I am curious about the opinions of anyone else who has ... 
Chinese DAC's
I had a french NOS dac  and a low cost chinese one Hidz pro 80... Each has his synergy with one or the other of my 2 system...  Synergy of the dac with amp and pre-amp  beat the country of design and even price  as decisive factors in my experie... 
Dedicated headphone amp vs Headphone socket on amp
I think Synergy here dictate the road to takes... As an exemple i use a old vintage headphone AKG K340, to honor it, i order to replace my Sansui Alpha ( Vintage amp of 100 watts with headphone socket) a very new TOP headphone tube amp from a desi...

I've encountered some issues with the audio hobby, and if I were to list them out, they’d look like this: Lack of Progress: The audio industry hasn't made significant advancements over the years, especially when compared to the rapid progres... 
Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread.
I participate less. I already explained my perspective which is not an interesting one for most consumers of gear :  Making ourselves our own experiments at peanuts costs... (especially in acoustics). Any thread reflect our actual life : passivi... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
 You need to stop harassing me...   Prove me wrong about a point , gave me an argument... If not shut up... Buy an acoustic book  and try to figure out how we hears sound  and what it means...    I can recommend one very deep if you ask... I... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
You claim to have tuned a 100 helmholtz resonators by ear and put in some seamless mechanical equalization with it, etc. Again, I think you’re full of it,  some bizarre theory crafting in play again...gives you psychological solace perhaps. Now... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
@mahgister You are a theorycrafter and you live in your head. You wrote volumes about BACCH on different threads without ever hearing it or living with it...quite bizarre actually, don’t you think? Probably because you never read a book about a... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
Now Suppose, That i justify my ignorance of acoustics by claiming that , price matter, gear matter, my taste matter more than acoustics basic... We often read also that musical taste matter and all musical styles forms are equal...     Sorry ...

For those who insult me here because they are what they are,   A new important article about music perception and why acoustics science matter, Who repeat itself here: Hilde45 attacking all my posts in many threads since few years, and deep33 ... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
Your mind is exhausted then the thread may be exhausted  too but it is not synonymus... instead of sarcasms as the poster above for example a curious mind can ask why what i claimed here is true ?   Perhaps you already know that and why and it...

Thanks for the video...       Mahgister brought up Baach, and I will be spending a lot of time at Axpona with the folks from Theoretica and learning much more about the Baach systems. The ability (claims they can) to present most recorded mus...
