| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole Wow! an amazing post @mrmb and well written!! I like the "measurement objectivist activist" term. You should trademark it as you penned it. I would personally replace "activist" with "militant" though, or maybe "missionary" | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole ^^^^^^^^ the goal of far too many objectivist posters, seems to be the need to save equipment buyers from themselves. The purpose of their posts is to cite how correct they are, because their measurements say they are. Perhaps they want to quan... | |

| Audiophiles on Audiogon. deludedxxx.... it is all about chain-jerking - the names change, as these sad people get kicked off, stay silent for a couple weeks, then come back under a new alias... they are the human equivalent of malware You nailed it! If it was just di... | |
| Anyone have experience with MSB Technology products compared to dCS? That sounds great @woots . Glad you figured out a lot of things today. One thing I wonder: why is it hard to find MSB dealers for you? You have the location of the dealer, you just contact Vince for details vince@msbtechnology.com https://w... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? no obvious artifacts 😂😂😂😂 | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? The gear itself is meaningless to me 🙄 Obviously. For those who think everything sounds the same. My main source currently is Amazon Music HD via an Echo wirelessly Yup | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @nonoise : Those of the "measurements are the only thing that matters" crowd have their own agenda More like a marketing tool, a sales pitch. No different than other sales pitch. I don't even want to entertain what motivates them At the to... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. I don't think anyone gets offended by measurements. I do think people get offended when the measurement crowd poops in their subjective (read: personal preferences) enjoyment of music and good audio by declaring placebo, hallucination, "prove it t... | |
| Anyone have experience with MSB Technology products compared to dCS? @woots : Currently have a Roon Nucleus Nucleus+ and NAS drive by Synology DS918+ If I go with with MSB I need to also purchase an Aurender N20 (or something similar) Not at all. You do not have to purchase an Aurender or other streamer. The... | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today All I am asking is you list your current audio chain. No pictures, no description under Audiogon System page, just list of your audio chain. Typed in. It’s that simple. Too much to ask? Just a list. I will take your word for it, and never question... | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today @fthompson251 : 04-29-2022 at 09:27am @deludedaudiophile ..... I just wonder what would happen if you auditioned a pair? You are asking him too much. I have a very strong feeling this has nothing to do with auditioning or listening. For... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. True story: A guy I know locally, bought a DAC a few years ago. He loved it. It sounded very good. For about 6-8 months, until one of those measurements sites posted a measurement based review. Very poor measurements apparently. At which point... |
