But I said of the same value. Temperature coefficient is a value, ppm/°C is a value.

Actually, this forum is frequently attended by several big names in industry, which make it unique [and they usually do not need to hide behind anonymous handles like Mike797] . If you feel un-welcome here, there are lots of other places, where you can find your soulmates and exchange tips for best sound, and everybody will be happy to accept your claims without any scrutiny.
I think it is great that you have fun building amplifiers and DACs, kudos, that you are able to follow build instructions and assemble correctly other people designs. First Watt is great choice for beginners/intermediate DIY;ers, as it is quite accessible design. Have fun.
In a studio, coloration can be a creative tool. At home playback, the goal is usually faithful reproduction. Using colored gear at that stage is more like repainting the artist’s work than viewing.
it can be bit seductive . I have an old vinyl player connected to my fully digital active speakers and room correction with WiiM , it still sounds exactly like a vinyl player .
Useful as a novelty item or when the vinyl is all there is on some albums , but the so called analog sound of a vinyl player is fully retained straight trough all the digital bobs and bits
It's clearly a coloration , but sometimes charming . distorsion in a pickup is usually at 1% levels mostly H2 ?
You could have added a multiple-choice voting, for people to guess price (w/o cheating, though).
Forget the snake, but I would have voted $3K just for the device itself.
[Am I close?]
Anytime close enough to suspect you of cheating by looking it up.
Teenage Engineering is basically a hipster design company who also happen to sell musical gear. Like a tiny 6-channel mixer for over 1000 moneys. And I mean really tiny... The 3.5mm sockets at the back are spaced so tightly, you can't use normal plugs on cables - of course they also sell you slim ones. Duh.
There's even worse examples of their products, probably worth its own thread. IKEA collaborations, a basic "field desk" for 1400, wooden choir puppets, anything you can't imagine. They absolutely fit into this thread, snake oil music production gear category. Lol.

Sir!!!!
[though, I had forgotten to add tariff(s) under IEEPA, or Sections 122/232/301/etc.]
Well, with exchange rate and shipping and import taxes and fees we are indeed awfully close to 3000 dollarmoneys.Sir!!!!

Apparently (or for another reason) it's bad enough, Sweetwater, the biggest US pro music retailer, doesn't sell any Teenage Engineering stuff. They're really doing the collective US musicianship a favour on this one. Haha

Per Paul McGowan, Revel Speakers sounds great, but they are not revealing.
The next audiofool to utter the term "revealing", I might just have to take my glove off and slap them across their face with it. It is the slogan of holy audiofoolery.

Folks like McGowan are either dopes or grifters
Those are not mutually exclusive
I guess this belongs here

"Grifter, do/can you hear me"
That's a diss track for someone who went on my nerves and went by the username of Grifter. Inspired by "Dr. Droste - Mark Oh Hörst Du Mich" which was a diss track for "Mark Oh - Droste Hörst Du Mich"... which was a diss track for his old teacher. Dissception against all grifters.
It's not much in terms of musicality, but I'm really proud of the vocal bits. I'm everything in there, including the apes.
You are just being jealous because he has more audio gear than you do!
His system just isn't resolving enough...You are just being jealous because he has more audio gear than you do!

That's not true, it's just that Paul McGowan has golden ears at his age.

Dude! We've got a resolution thread that's... umm... resolving itself even as I type this.
Unless it reached resolution today while I was (believe it or not) doin' other stuff.
Resolutely doin' stuff, of course!
How to Measure the Level of Resolution?
When we actually listen to sound, it seems easy to distinguish the difference in resolution between audio equipment. But are there any metrics to measure this capability? Neither frequency response curves nor distortion alone seem to accurately reflect it. Is there a precise and unified...

Perhaps with the exception of the OD-11 speaker, their products are expensive toy-, art- and design experiments. I may be wrong but I don't know if they do false claims of what their product can do. If it is just different and expensive but with no false claims, is it snake oil? Expensive watches, art and design furniture would also be snake oil?Anytime close enough to suspect you of cheating by looking it up.

Isn't it amazing just how creative the brain can be?
That person thinks they are the tester and the connectors are the devices being tested. They don't realize that what is really being tested is their own fallible senses.
