| Amir and Blind Testing I think Amir is excellent and had an ideal methodology. I wouldn’t buy anything that didn’t pass muster with him. ASR is an outstanding site. But, if you like million dollar cables and hyped up rubbish it isn’t the place for you. | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... Thanks—I am really glad I dumped those components. So much for Exogal and their defenders. They got what they deserved. | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... It’s one year later and still no new Exogal anything. What happened to those new improved components that we were going to be able to trade our Comets and Ions in for? As I predicted one year ago, Exogal occupies a plot in the great electronic gra... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality High end power cables are cool things that appeal to the audio nut. If you like them buy them. I strongly doubt they make any difference in sound; the nuance here is to avoid the really cheap stock ones. Audio Science Review is the most clearheade... | |
| a remarkably basic question about Roon Generally speaking Roon is worthwhile. I like the articles on music and musicians, as well as the arrangement or curation of my library. They do have a lot of software glitches. If you have a big music library that is well organized on your MacBoo... | |
| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? I'm unaware of any solid evidence that power conditioners improve sound in a normal home electric setup. Esse est percipi. | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. My crowd were Rolling Stones fans because we were rebellious and and close to being juvenile delinquents. The Beatles were all so well scrubbed and that didn't go over well. When they went psychedelic I really liked them. We had a sadistic music t... | |
| Power conditioner some say yes and some say no. Read about these on Audio Science Review. The audio companies have invented a component for people to waste their money. | |
| My Experience With Tekton I found a pair of prototype Tekton speakers in a stereo vintage shop in rural PA. They sounded very good and were quite well made. I emailed Tekton to find out what they were and they didn’t bother to reply. That didn’t strike me as good potential... | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? As with the LPs, I have retained about 100 high quality audiophile import CDs that would be hard to replace. Even so, I listen to the music as downloaded in my iMac. Played via Roon, I believe that the download sounds better. It's just a matter of... | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... Of course you are finished—you are throughly refuted. I hope that readers here will start reading Audio Science Review and draw their own conclusions. Companies like Nord, Topping, VTV, RME, Gustard, etc. make wonderful sounding components that ar... | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... Modesty is apparently not one of your personality attributes. In any case, I'll do better than fishing up your videos and go straight to the written word. In your Dagogo review if the Comet (October 2015) you start your self stated "accolades" by ... | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... I certainly wouldn't compare my extremely limited knowledge to yours in anything that pertains to audio. It appears from your statements that you see room for subjectivity when it comes to measurements, and plenty of people do. I can tell you cate... | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... Schroeder, I strongly question the professional ethics of your steadfast attempts to defend Exogal. You would do very well to study the scientific and objective reviews on Audio Science Review in an effort to remedy your subjectivity. You can star... | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... The new Topping DAC kills the Comet at a third the price and you get a quality headphone amp included. Couple that with any of a number of Purifi Class D amps and you will be shocked at the quality of sound. Exogal fans enjoy paying top dollar for... |
