    Topping A30Pro Review (Balanced Headphone Amp)

    And do you also subscribe to the notion that you can detect differences in the signal fidelity of devices such that "device rolling" matters?

    Topping A30Pro Review (Balanced Headphone Amp)

    As mentioned several times. Nobody should remotely expect these devices to last anything less than 5 years. Longer really.

    Audio Note speakers

    Absolutely agree. It is perfectly fine to enjoy something that doesn't top the charts. Really well put and timely.

    Or better yet be with women having wine and song.

    Watches! What do y'all have on your wrists?

    Totally appreciate how you roll with your hobby. My collection is considerably more modest in terms of watches, I do have several nice (affordable nice) models. One being, like yourself, a Seiko Presage, Cocktail Time with a lovely, rich multiple tones of brown dial (really quite striking). I...

    Watches! What do y'all have on your wrists?

    I do understand that as a need for some people, perhaps many people, but for me while practical, wearing a watch is primarily aesthetic. I think you and are similar in age so perhaps you can relate, but for me I feel not fully dressed if I am not wearing a watch. Often anyway. Kicking about in...

    Watches! What do y'all have on your wrists?

    Never got with digital watches myself, but I get what people see in them. You get it or you don't right?

    PA and Studio Monitor speakers vs HiFi modified sound

    I get that, but the member I replied to hadn't quoted the OP, that person quoted another members reply to the thread. Doesn't matter really anyway, things seem resolved.

    GoldenSounds passes apparently ABX test for DACs (NOT Really)

    We would also need for the original participant to replicate the results at least two more times. While unlikely that there was guessing involved, unless I am not understanding the testing protocol, we can't rule that out with just one example.

    PA and Studio Monitor speakers vs HiFi modified sound

    Am I missing something here? I'm not sure how this has anything to do with the main point of the member who's post you quoted. What am I missing?

    ZMF Caldera Headphone Review

    Sorry. I wasn't ignoring your question. No I have never had a negative experience with any ZMF product or personnel. I wish I had the patience right now to write a post that attempted to communicate why I have the reaction that I do, but alas, right now I just don't have it in me.

    ZMF Caldera Headphone Review

    That seems particularly true when you factor in how high the prices have climbed.

    ZMF Caldera Headphone Review

    I get that push back against label thing, and to be fair I don't think I was painting with that wide a brush stroke. Saying that, I stick to my original point, there is absolutely an undercurrent cult like vibe in the ZMF collector community. It is rather evident. Is it any of my business how...

    ZMF Caldera Headphone Review

    Fair enough, I did ask, and I am not disagreeing with your personal rationale for buying a ZMF headphone. How could I right?
