| chinese counterfeitng Though I've obviously made the statement shifting the accusations of counterfeiting by the Chinese back on the accusers, that doesn't mean I believe they produce the best sounding, best performing, best value audio components. They simply don't | |
| Dac Technology Mature? As someone who's done a complete 180 over the past few years to jump fully back to vinyl because of my dissatisfaction with digital, I for one, sure hope DAC technology is not mature. In our frequent get togethers, just about every person raves o... | |
