Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
litigation: the process of taking legal action. One doesn't get to redefine accepted definitions to suit one's needs. Doing that in the real world does lead to naturally understandable misunderstandings as people tend to take one at one's word. ... 
Who still does mods for CD players
I had one done by Stan Warren back in 1990 on a Philips CD-80. Even back then it sounded better. I think he's still around and can be reached at Supermods in Eugene, Oregon at (541) 688-9723. All the best, Nonoise  
Solar Eclipse Music
Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. It’s weird that after posting the one above, every other video I try to cut ’n paste from YouTube no longer takes. All the best, Nonoise

New SS integrated choice....Rotel 1572Mk2, Audiolab 7000A, Exposure 2510
Go and check out the Technics Su-G700M2 at BestBuy in Honolulu. The price is right and the return policy is great as well as the warranty.  I have it and wouldn't part with it unless I won the lottery. Don't be turned off by the fact that it's so... 
A Tale for Your Bemusement
Well, in just under two months you'll be right as rain and none the worse for it. I like it when things work out for someone in unexpected ways. Thanks for sharing. All the best, Nonoise

Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait?
If customs randomly chooses your package for inspection, it'll take awhile. It's not the fault of the sender. I had a package from England (a pocket knife) that sat forever in customs until they felt good and ready to inspect it and send it on its... 
New Audiogon URL restrictions are too much
This happened to me just once about a month ago when I tried to link a video from YouTube. It took about four attempts to get it to work and alls been fine since.  Here's a link from Wikipedia on networking. All the best, Nonoise  
Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
I have the Technics SU-G700M2 which uses GaN FETs and it's really nice sounding. No etch, great extension, slightly warm, lots of PRAT, great tone, you name it, it's got it. A keeper if there ever was one and it got me off the audio merry-go-round... 
Scientifically proven improvement for sound clarity.
This is nothing new, it's very old news, and I think it makes the music sound unbalanced and strange. Agreed. It's like the sound hit a wall and was scooped into your ears. Yes, you'll hear more detail, but it's a most unnatural way to hear it.... 
for Technics SU-R1000 owners....unit already discontinued? where to service?
A quick look at Technic's site shows your unit to be current and not discontinued.  Click above and see if this is the page you're getting. Investigating further, I got this message using my Zip Code:  For the NEW Technics Products that are lis... 
Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions
@bigkidz  Your mentioning that Nano jogged my memory, leading to this: Was it anything like the Moondrop Discdream?  All the best, Nonoise  
Has anyone heard from bdp24 lately?
Who needs Spotify, Tidal or any streaming services when you can take it all in by just listening to bpd24. Sorry to hear about your family issues but good to hear back from you.  All the best, Nonoise
