I am not playing word games with you Steven. It is proper protocol in forums for new members to contribute before complaining. You have not done that. Until you do, I am not interested in what you like or don't like, who you want to criticize, etc.Er, no, it's not. I'm asking whether a 'criticism' is an 'opinion'. NorthSky, in the riposte you seemed to find brilliant, suggests they are mutually exclusive. I disagree, don't you?
And do you think fas's 'opinions' about CD audio, and power supplies, being routinely and audibly bad unless one has a 'pristine' setup, and NorthSky's beliefs about the superior 'timing' of vinyl, hold water....scientifically speaking?
If you are only here to have a fight with people, your time here will be short.
