@steakster ​​​​@jerryg123 Good spot! In only four posts, this must be a record spotting Cin Dyment entering Audiogon yet another time. However the list is missing a few most recent names. Here is the full list: crymeanaudioriver   theaudiomania... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
@kota1 : Yup! And it works. Think about it. Blame AmirM what you want, but he is very smart. He figured out his niche on the market. Often, it’s not even graphs. I am willing to bet the majority of those guys don’t know how to read the graphs. Ne...

Integrated amp for Thiel 3.7's
I’ve had a Diablo 300 for a year and sold it because it was too bright and too lean sounding. It took you (more than) a year to realize this? I now have a Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 class A, this is in a different league so much more musical and liqui... 
Do speaker cables really make a difference ?

Types of Audiophiles
Very good list. Good comments as well. Good thread for sure.   IMO, the largest group of "audiophiles" by far is those who play one in social media, FB audio groups, and audio forums.  
Do speaker cables really make a difference ?
