Sounds like you might prefer pure Class A amplification.

I suppose they also love Rice Krispies for breakfast.

Is it, really? I guess one needs to use something like a Kill-a-Watt to know for sure. Such tests would be a useful addition to the standard amirm suite in these climate-changed times.

Induction hobs give even better control and dynamic control. But you still prefer gas? BTW I also prefer gas, but I acknowledge that induction is objectively superior for control and speed.

Although I don't myself listen to vinyl any longer, I've come around to understanding a bit better, I think, what vinyl enthusiasts enjoy about the format. And in that regard it's a little like people who insist on cooking over a gas flame, or line-drying their laundry, or driving manual...

Not sure if serious.

I'm a definite Boomer. What have been the "big improvements" I remember most? Solid state amplifiers with massive power, like the Ampzilla and the early SAEs. The headroom was fantastic, and remains so today! Non-traditional speaker designs like the Dahlquist DQ-10s and the Ohms. Man, I'd love...

I'm very impressed with what Mr. Jones and his team have done with the MoFi line of speakers. I have no qualms about the engineering that's gone into them. Just wish they didn't look so hideous and (to my eyes) cheap.

I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about high fidelity.

Actually they're a work of Dan. I think his stuff is seriously cool looking. If I were Elon Musk, I'd own several. But I'd also need a platoon of bodyguards, so no thanks.

They sounded muddy to me (lack of sonic clarity). But full disclosure: I was not familiar with the source material.

I listened to a pair of Chronosonic XVX last summer in a "high-end" audio dealer's shop. They sounded terrible. Looked really cool, though.

Reiteration of just what excellent speakers these are. Bravo, Dennis and team!

All the discussion about clocks, power supplies and other audiophile hoodoo about these systems is completely irrelevant. What matters is as follows: Does the device support your preferred streaming sources (e.g. Qobuz, Spotify, Amazon Music, Idagio, etc.)? Do you like the control app? Is its...

Not.

Go no further.

KEF couldn't care less about whether I exist. The converse isn't true. My respect for what KEF does is unrelated to their affection for me, specifically. So far their products seem almost without exception to be very good performers and good values.

I listen primarily to jazz and classical music. Yet I found that the best way to differentiate among speakers when I was shopping was listening to "Owner of a Lonely Heart." It's an extremely dynamic piece that highlights any muddiness and excessive resonances. The reason I chose KEF R11s is...

Streamers should be judged IMO primarily on the breadth of streaming sources they support, use convenience and flexibility. DACs are cheap, small and can be appended to the streamer's digital output easily. The DAC on this thing is flawed, though not fatally so. But I don't see a compelling...

He's one of my tribe! Though in my case it manifests differently.
