Post of the month!I bet the scientists can't wait until it burns in properly.

But does it lift veils and create a holographic image?Just imagine that inky blackness and width/depth, you can really place those galaxies
Only if they went with all vacuum tube electronics.But does it lift veils and create a holographic image?

Sounds like my audiophile life story as well.I'm a 70 year old audio hound, who's been one from about 5 years old.
Been through so many phases, so much different equipment and speakers.
Had a lengthy spell of high income, the kind that let me get whatever Stereophile and Absolute Sound, etc, listed as highly recommended .
Wasted shit tons of money....never really getting better sound....all lateral moves so to speak.
One of my major steps in achieving genuinely better audio was ditching Stereophile and all similar publications ...totally, and without looking back.
I took to trying to learn basic audio science, and how to apply it. Knowledge proved more valuable than equipment.
f you're still reading those rags, and truly love audio ...I guess it's just something you will eventually learn to grow out of....like i had to...
There is nothing "unguided" going on here. Oh dear, not the "knowing what to measure" card... are you serious Jim?...the unguided application of analytical tools can lead you far astray.
Knowing what to measure is critical, and getting to that point is hard work.

I am not a scientist. I am doing what a reviewer should do in context of testing a technical product. They need to use instrumentation to figure out what it does. Not faulty ears and listening test practices. I have no lab coat, nor will ever wear one. This is simple engineering verification. Please don't elevate it to "science" and then say "it is not science."There is a spark of truth in it, though. ASR needs to be careful to avoid the cargo cult trap. Not everybody donning a lab coat and wielding expensive equipment is a scientist.

I wonder if Purifi appreciates how many of their amps/modules have been sold based on @amirm 's measurements/reviews...You mean this part?
".. Purifi's people are serious engineers, but don't make the mistake of thinking they mindlessly ally themselves with the simple-minded objectivists who populate certain online discussion forums. They understand that science and engineering must be carefully deployed. Members of the Purifi team seemed to me as impatient with measurements-happy reductionists as with the radical antimeasurements crowd .."
To me it means the writer is projecting and thinking he knows what Purifi engineers think. ".. they seemed .." doesn't sound too self-assured, nor does it seem the entire paragraph nails down what the correct position should be - the writer positions himself well out of the supposedly warring factions.
