Fran from Fran Labs said once, "Go with the Devil you know".
It's part of the reason why I stick with Chrysler. I know how to fix everything on it if it breaks.
And, I don't need anyone's help to do it.

My Volvo is by far the better car in many ways. But if something goes wrong? Its always going to be a $2,000 bill for parts.
Not to mention, I can't just plug in a OBDII reader to find out what's wrong.
Class D is always going to have its topology scrutinized and rightfully so. There have been so many BAD implementations of it for years. And to top it off? Many reviewers in the past were just biased from the get go. I doubt they heard much of any difference in the class D amp shootout I read and I think that was either in stereophile or the absolute sound.
if you can't trust your ears then trust your gut. Sometimes no matter how good the toyota is? I just can't bring myself around to buying one.
I wonder if there's a subconscious bias that when things sound exactly the same and can be repeated in exactly the same Perfection has the last performance, your mind is confused by it as it expects something different each time from listening to the same piece of music.
I'm sure someone at the A.E.S. has done research on this kind of phenomenon.
maybe that's what it is?
because in the real world, you don't have something happen twice in the exact same way. And as reproduction of digital music is perfect every single time*, well that might be the reason why some of us prefer the older Technologies even though they don't measure well or have higher distortion. Its a theory.
