| Beware the audio guru Let us hope that JA remains at his post measuring for Stereophile! | |
| Beware the audio guru In today's Internet era the pendulum has swung towards the "listening" side. So we have a proliferation of "experts" and gurus who are unfamiliar with and disdain measurements! The new "golden ears" crowd. A sad state of affairs, indeed! | |

| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace +1 timlub! These upgrades from hoppesbrain.com would be the way to go! You have an excellent preamp with its Nelson Pass heritage. Well worth keeping! | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @mrdecibel : When I posted "So Mr.D, go for it!" I was referring to Dan Da'Agostino - not you! More power to him if he can sell these monuments to extravagant consumption! | |

| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? KLH Nine electrostatics bought from the first owner for $500 in 1992! Still have them in use! | |
| Is this MQA news a big deal? +1 ptss! MQA is the GREAT AUDIO SWINDLE of today! And you are right about today's pop music - most of it is just DRECK! | |
| Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers Never have so many been so deluded about a small piece of wire! | |
| Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers A fuse is a fuse is a fuse ... THEY ARE ALL ALIKE! If a fuse works it is a GOOD fuse! Do not listen to what the crazies say! Whether a fuse costs $1 or $150 THEY ALL SOUND ALIKE! A fuse is NOT a tone control and does NOTHING to change tone quality... | |
| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? +1 again for nandric! A good SUT (Bellari) and a good MM phono stage will give you good and enjoyable music listening! |
