Great list! But, I seem to be having an issue that maybe someone can help with? The Equalizer APO seems to introduce something akin to "pumping". It's very irritating, because the sound is very appealing but there seems to be some amplitude variation? that is driving me mad. I don't think I'm...

I don't think I can stop now, "Music Reach 1,2,3,4" by The Prodigy, the sample is "makes me want to shout". But, it's clearly another word that begins in sh, and ends in t! Given my Experience ;) with the chemicals associated with the scene, it always made me want to sh*t.

Touched for the thirty-first time! All the lols, reminds me of that joke about having sex with thirty nine year olds!

In the Happy Mondays song Kinky Affro, Sean Ryder sings "You come around here, and you put both your feet in", but it sounds like he says "You come around here with your butt f*****g feelings".

Careful now

You haven't forgotten anything because you have misconstrued what people are saying. Nobody (well nobody who should be taken seriously) is saying that person X does not hear a difference. We can all "hear" a difference. The point is your, mine, their hearing is flawed and easily mistaken. So...

Good day all. Pretty self-explanatory really, any suggestions for an acceptable DIY phono stage? I tried to order the Muffsy kit but alas, Brexit/Covid related issues mean they aren't sending them to the UK. Preferably nothing requiring proper engineering prowess, as this is one of many areas...

This is the classic English comedic example, surprised no one posted it yet!

I've been away for a while so sorry for reviving an old thread, if anyone cares. I'm just in the process of desgining (picking other peoples components to put together) my "end game" Mega Pre. Using various kits that other people have designed it will be a streamer/pre with phono stage, VU...

He maybe gets paid for producing infomercials?

I'm not ok with it and never suggested I was you maybe have me confused with someone else. I'm not an expert in the matter so rely on others to provide information. In this instance the discussion is about MQA, and regardless of the technical details of theirs or others codecs, MQA are plain...

This is not a logical reasoning. The just of this argument seems to be, You didn't ever complain about X so you have no right to complain about Y. So much for learning from the past and trying to avoid previous mistakes.

If MQA had named their business, Lossy but Clever Codec then fine. They could have demonstrated the niche benefit and that would have been the end of it. But they didn't, they chose a deliberately misleading name and they set out to take people's money through deception. Unacceptable.

+1 For Monolith 1060. I have a pair and think they're great but something objective would be good! I'm in the UK though so in not going to be the one to send them!
