Thanks, much appreciated. I do apologize for getting a bit worked up here, again. I feel very strongly about such things, we simply do do not understand all that is around us or even ourselves, much more to learn, very exciting times we are in indeed:) Some of us are into both the gear and...

That is the problem, there are tests that are valid for a very limited range of what we can hear in a frequency range but they do not measure things outside like the finite details that some can perceive and it seems others cannot. There are spatial and other clues either in the medium of the...

I am quite aware of the amount of snake oil in the audio industry, and most others. I DIY all my very reasonable cost cables and when I owned a multi million dollar company and could buy most anything I wanted in audio I spent around $5k on a partly DIY, partly used but very fine system that...

Who determines there is a proper test? Not me, not you, not the "experts" in science that are constantly proven wrong. So much easier to bury ones head in the sand than imagine one might not know all their is to know. Just because one does not drink the koolaid does not mean they do not know...

Some cannot hear differences others can, that is the simple fact of the matter which has been proven over and over again. . Those that believe only their belief system can be the right one, I am OK with that, If they would keep their comments to themselves. Those that ridicule all others are...

I bet it is not a balanced layout on the other side of the room. :rolleyes: The TT is in a horrible location horribly mounted. I like the picture of the real Mini on the wall though. Rick

As in all things there are no real experts, nobody knows it all, just some much more than others and most have a lot of bias they might not even know they have. When it comes to picking audio gear, recipes for food, car repairs, medical care, etc...........I look at as many places I can find...

I suppose I could describe my preference for tube amps as more "organic" though it is just more distortion and perhaps the aspect listed below that to me sounds better, easier on the ears for longer term listening for me as well. (One description I have read from difference sources and studied...

I have to admit I like tube amps better than SS or D though there are some dang fine and great priced amps in those classes. I have decided on a few changes, experiments, etc... My ideal of a great system for low cost: WIIM Ultra, streaming Qobuz $279 on sale recently. Topping V70 Velvet DAC...

I think he makes a very compelling argument in this video. I also believe there is a bit of room to improve most gear, and cables above a certain level that may cost more than some are willing to spend and when used together properly, most important being the room and setup, it is worth it for...

I apologize for the misunderstanding, it was not aimed at you at all, it was a timing issue. It seems some posts may of been removed, not sure, I think there were some that should of been or at least warnings posted to the poster.

I am getting emails with more way off topic posts here but they are not showing up when I check the site, why is that? I hope maybe they are being deleted so the thread can be on point instead of wasting everyone's time.

Sorry about that, I will behave in that manner. Do you care about the behavior of others here? It seems being a moderator covers that area as well, I should know, been on forums for decades and have served as a moderator, where I actually moderated. Most of their posts are acting like spoiled...

What, you expect something more back to somebody acting like that? Hardly worth the effort. Did we not get a notice from the moderator to straighten up here and I said I would but also not put up with the behavior of others. The rules apply to all, not those that think they are above them and...

What does acting like an A hole have to do with either?
