Let me ask you something Richard. Do you make any music? My understanding is you try to make High Fidelity replay equipment. I've also read somewhere you don't spend much time listening to music.

However, having joined the NVA fold fairly recently, encouraged mostly by the Doc's clear, unam...

Hmm.... https://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/system-pics-2019.223146/ Alfi. There's some lovely looking kit in that thread. Amazing how much money people spend on their stereo systems. Would I spend that much? Sure, if I had that sort of money I probably would. I didn't notice any bragging, ...

I’m curios now. What happens if someone joins HFS and says he/she has bought these things and to their ears they really do make a difference. Are you going to call them deaf, stupid maybe, a shill? I can recall some of the flac I got when I split the USB cable to my HRT Pro Dac and attached the powe...
