jesus dude. what the flying F. each post of yours is a dumbfounding crescendo of WTFs. my brain, it shudders, when it is exposed to your empty drivel

WTF no. the issue is that the test has (nearly) NOTHING to do with the claim. it's pretentious clickbait trying to 'prove' subjectivists had it right all along, when in fact to anyone with any kind of audio knowledge and at least 2 working neurons, this test proves the contrary

indeed. there's even a good book about it, The Society of Dreams or something like that :) considering how he prominently displayed his high end Focal towers (Sopra 3?) throughout his video, i'd be fairly confident the latter was definitely a pretty important factor to feed his boundless ego :)

huh? 20hz is at -2db. you'd probably feel like the rolloff is more substantial because of the +2db in the 60-150hz range, but still, this is very far from a HD6XX 'what is bass?' i don't have these but i stumbled upon this thread while researching and remained baffled by this statement. it...

thank you captain obvious. did you know water is wet?

i would look at it this way: the relatively new and modern Hypex is used in a wide variety of implementations, all within spec, nothing fancy or exotic really to "squeeze" out every db of pointless [as in, it's already more than transparent enough for 99,999% use cases] SINAD for the ridiculous...

their handling of the situation does not warrant the financial support of buying any further products, particularly not early (read under 2 years) in their lifetime [and considering they constantly "update" their lineup, discontinuing stuff and introducing new products, that practically means ever]

PA7 already, huh... after the PA5 utter fiasco, i'm only expecting for this to measure great, get the highest recommendations, to "change the game" even more, but be an utter failure of a product for us consumers. Popping will need to do a lot to start regaining my trust. a lot

isn't @boXem | audio in Europe? he also does Hypexes and Purifies and i'm pretty sure with vat+shipping, it's cheaper than Buckeye here in EU and "verified" here as being great. there's others who do it as well. i remember having a dutch company offering less aesthetically pleasing cases with...

nice nonargument you have there, care to move production to China so we can flood the internet with it? :rolleyes: if that wasn't clear from my other posts, i don't care WHERE something is made. the most important part of production is not location, but QC (and i have defended "made in china"...

getting the next product "up the ladder" when the one discussed here will inevitably fail, expecting said failure, and willing to buy again from a brand whose only point of existence seems to be pointless SINAD chasing waaay past audibility while providing waaaay less than most of the...

and this, folks, is why we can't have nice things

get some tinnitus! silence will never be the same again :P

i would really, really like to try a trip on the hallucinogens WhatHiFi uses. from the looks of it, they sound pretty awesome!

your sarcasm detector is broken. there are NO subtle difference with cables. well made or otherwise. and as Tony has already said, that's not how that works you're hearing what you're wanting to hear if the difference were truly night and day, it should be easily measured and detected with a...
