    Master Thread: Are measurements Everything or Nothing?

    I think the main problem is the preference score. I feel that it would be more useful to have a reporting system which quantifies various characteristics that reviewers normally talk about and that people's tastes in audio vary along, like brightness, warmth, forewardness, detail reproduction...

    curious to see amir rate the fosi bl20c

    sorry, not trying to mislead anyone. that's just what the specs say. no idea how to verify. I'm eager to know the real rating though, or how inaccurate that is.

    Poll for Topping PA5 owners only please.

    You can postulate whatever you like. All I'm doing is postulating. I think it's important to introduce this possibility. Also, I've noticed there are far more angry audio snobs here than angry budgetphiles. Probably because the latter is more of a rational preference, while the former is an...

    Master "deals" (massdrop, ebay, Amazon, etc.) Thread on Audio Product Sales

    i wonder if it was a pricing bug from their site redesign or they are planning the sale but started it prematurely. either way, now i have 4 sets of speakers i bought on sale, which has complicated my decision process. jbl 530 ($240), qa 3020 ($230), jamo s803 (5-speaker hcs $180), and now jbl...
