[Thomas Savage]

Well this threads turning out to be a real Tonic . Thanks Alan for the OP, massive thanks to Chris from PS audio for engaging so productively and of course Amirm for making it all possible.

I Look forward to the fruits of all this playing out over the coming weeks . Technical engagement held in good faith between ASR and manufacturers , all in the open , with fantastic access for punters and enthusiasts.

Fantastic.

Excellent. If you need my actual project files, start a conversation with me and I will share them out for you.

Hi Amir! I private messaged you on this forum about this. I'd love to mirror some of your tests to make it easy for your forum members to compare things apples-to-apples so the project files would be awesome.

If it actually meets those specs, so what? The human ear will not be able to tell the difference once a level of performance well below that is achieved. It's like asking for a drop forge when a tack hammer is all that's needed. Kudos to the designers able to produce something with that level of performance, but it doesn't audibly matter any more. The race is over. You've cross the finish line. Stop running. There's no point in it anymore. It's like asking for a pound of hamburger meat to be weighed out to the nearest microgram.

Well, the subject of audibility and psychoacoustics is a good one to discuss. Maybe for another thread?

It’s probably a very decently designed kit almost as good as say, Topping and just ten times the price.

For many people of sufficient means, it will be a desirable attribute that the PS gear is manufactured in the USA rather Communist China.

Well, my ethical system values supporting American manufacturing less than it loathes supporting grifters taking advantage of consumer ignorance to sell things at absurd markups. That's just me though.

Ethical mindset does not necessarily come with wealth.

Agreed, and it is specified it’s 1V input. I am thinking that the 150 dB has to be under some very specific condition.

Are you getting a kickback? Than why are you advertising for that liar, lying is the "condition". BS audio is one of the biggest purveyor of snake oil on the web and you are just encouraging the asshole. The gear is average at best and sold at ridiculous prices.

There kinda mutually exclusive.

 

[Cbdb2]

It’s explained above that the op amp hits 150 dB SINAD not the entire setup with gain.

Lets see those measurements.

Paul significantly misspoke on the website and in his launch presentation

So he was either deliberately lying or he knows very little about audio.
