Good for you. I like the use of the exact measurement unit "ton". Your opinion is noted.

How many of the modders you know have actually verified their mods in objective, reproducible ways? No. What makes you think so?

About TPA based amps, I think older audiophiles, like myself, need to give new technologies more chances, and consider the problem of...

About the ABX test, I did the same test with a Denefriips Ares (which I believed would sound better, and was interested in buying) and a...

This is one of many reasons why I always work with at least two identical devices for such projects, whether tuning or development. The...

My problem with most modders is that they don't bother to do any objective verification of the effect of their mods - and we know that...

I would hope for something more than just listening - unless it is a proper, controlled double blind test, it is pretty much just random...

Indeed.

Sure, but this is Audio *Science* Review after all. OK, psychology is supposedly a science too...

"It depends" :) As long as you don't need a lot of sustained power, there would probably not be any audible effect. There would be...

Sure, just sceptical of some of the claims about audible differences.

Exactly. My experience too - almost always it is either "works" or "doesn't work", not subtle differences in audio quality.

Mechanically, yes, I agree. But in a way that affects audible sound quality? I'd still be interested in hearing if someone has actually...

Could. Perhaps. Maybe. Just because it is possible doesn't mean it is true. Sure, but how often does that happen? "Very good" in...

Objectively verified? Let me guess... No? :)
