Eric doesn't seem to understand the difference between correlation and causation, which frankly isn't surprising considering everything else that has been brought to light. If Eric decides to litigate I'm certain he'll both rally typically independent audio communities in support of the...

surrrrprise! Anyways, thank you for being willing to condcut such tests and continue interacting with Eric, countering claims with objective evidence. I'm not a fan of everything you do, but this is indisputably a service to the community. Your responses have been a class act in handling...

Please don't stuff me into a speaker box. That would hurt. @Eric Alexander As a former prospective customer I'm rather disturbed. I saw Amir's Lore mini review when it went live, and I can wholeheartedly say that it did little to diminish your products (which I previously knew about) in my...

On paper, I have to say yes, looks like a bad deal, poorly priced for the performance, whatever. (On the other side of the coin, the topping Pa5 seemed like a good-to-great option..) From personal experience, it's great. Not for everybody sure, but the concerns brought up here haven't...

That's apos for ya. I fought them for months to get a $300 in store credit on my $350 Pa5 after waiting months for a replacement. But to be fair, if topping (who also claimed a two-year warranty) recomp'd Apos, there probably wouldn't be nearly as many issues.

@GXAlan @restorer-john Opened up the unit and took some photos if it helps at all. Let me know if there's another angle you'd want. There's a decent amount of dust and fuzz on the components, but I don't think I can see any evidence of water damage...

Spilled water on the front right side of the unit, near the pot, tone controls, and power amp section. No idea how it would have taken months to manifest an issue, though. My area is relatively high humidity (73% avg. annual) Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't have one handy. Going to...

Exact same on B. My headphones- Anandas- have a moderately low impedance of 25 ohms but are also incredibly sensitive, something like 103 dBmW

Has anybody heard of Yamaha A-S series failing? My A-S801 has a strong left-leaning channel imbalance and is sounding quite thin. Servo protection circuitry kicked in at a relatively low level compared to what the amp should be capable of during demanding dynamic swings. I haven't changed...

Not really imo, none of the improvements should be audible. E.g, If you were shopping for a new car, would you care that a Carolla does 117mph and a Civic does 137? They both have pros and cons... The do100 has a display of questionable efficacy, Bluetooth, and a pot+remote control, but the...

Hm. The saga continues. After I used my $300 in-store credit to order the moondrop blessing 2s, I waited a few weeks and was slated to have my package delivered by USPS (Ie. par for the course). I then received a notice that USPS was returning the package to the sender due to a fault on my end...

Eh... maybe not. Actually, probably not. I believe jot1 measures perfectly fine, it should be rather difficult to tell the difference.

On the contrary, why would TI replace a successful product that they produce at scale? I know with consumer electronics as a reference point, 7 years may seem like a lot of time, but honestly, most audio tech has been pretty good for... a long time, and things like amplifier chips don't see...

I'd imagine many owners of the l30 mk1 and practically all for the Pa5

Hasn't the a90 been discontinued since the launch of the a90D?
