| About users with hidden agendas @sokogear Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but please don’t assume you know the whole story and are in a position to instruct others. You do not. Also please stop talking about haters. We are done with that! Cheers! | |
| Change it or Defend it, where is your stereo at? I love the sound of my hifi but sometimes, just sometimes, after awhile, as a “technology guy”, I may want to discover what the latest and greatest technologies and breakthroughs can do for me. Out with the old and in with the new? That time may b... | |
| GO CHIEFS !! Raven’s fan here. Still gotta root for the long time oppressed ie Cincinnati Bengals. Will try to ignore any insufferable Bengals fans. Football makes people go nuts sometimes. Go figure! | |
| About users with hidden agendas Enough of the "haters" references. We are all sick of it here. If someone draws consistent ire from many others best they take a look in the mirror. Period. If one feels hated and actually cares about it, then do something about it. It will pr... | |
| Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps Use any good quality power cord and they will sound fine. The stock BC cords are not esoteric but work fine. Those are what I use.

| About users with hidden agendas my question is, how can i become a paid shill No experience personally but I suspect like most things you just have to be good at it and want to do it. I was a salesman early on....Lafayette Radio, TEch Hifi, Radio Shack. We were trained when s... | |
| About users with hidden agendas There is nothing here to prevent hidden agendas so you can be sure they are there and not hard to detect over time. It is what it is. High end audio is pretty much one big expensive hidden agenda. As long as people are respectful and factual, and ... | |
| Why People Like Tekton Hyper-detail alone is just one part of the whole. Acoustics have a lot to do with that like most things along with the gear. We want it all and we want it now! | |
| How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear? Piano is probably the single best instrument to use as a reference in that it can deliver good dynamics across a wide range of frequencies, but unless one was highly biased towards listening exclusively to piano music (what??) I would not rely exc... |
