"What sounds "Better" to an individual is purely subjective. No specs alone will tell you that."I can't think of a better way to put it.We all have different tastes. I had the 802 S3's and didn't like them at all. That said, there's always the pos...

Audiolabyrinth,I knew his posts were BS. There are not the kind of topics that anyone at Tara would bring up. My guess is that he's from this company Behold. He made these 2 posts."Hello! My name's Cody; I work for TARA Labs. Not here to promote a...

Onhwy61,"As I stated above, REG is an outstanding reviewer. Rather than lump all reviewers together, take the time to figure out if some of them actually know what they are talking about."Fair enough. But I'll ask the same of you. Here's one of my...

""The problem with sighted evaluations is very visible in consumer high end audio, where all sorts of very poorly trained listeners claim that they have heard differences that, in technical terms are impossibly small or non existent.The correspond...

Hesson11,I tend to agree with you overall. But, I didn't mean that comment to be taken completely literal."What does the speaker suck at? That's what I want to know. lol."See the lol at the end? I try, but no one ever gets my humour. Oh well, back... 
AQ Earth interconnects..echo?
