Steve, I would accuse you of being ignorant. But I actually don't think you are. I think you are a cancer in audio and that you're the very worst part of the hobby. Robbing joy and life from what should be a fun and diversionary pursuit.I'm getting silly? You got childish. I've given my advice and opinion, and I remain confident in this. We could engage in an interesting conversation about what constitutes "best" and how we deal with the fact that the audio industry is mature and has made very few advances in the last 20, 30 or 50 years compared to cars, TVs or (brace yourself) computers. I have access to more computing power in my pocket than NASA in 1974, and I use it to phone my mother. Cars 50 years ago had carburettors and did 30 mpg at best. Electric cars were milk floats. TVs had CRTs and weighed a tonne. 28" was a good size. What's hifi done? The CD. Pretty good. 40 years old, but pretty good then. Computer audio. That's good. DSP. But compared to the other stuff, that's bugger all.
But you don't want to have any of these discussions, you just want to throw jibes from the sidelines. Child. That's fine. You do you. Jog on.
There's also no truth in what you say; only half truths. The worst kind of lies.
Adding you to my ignore list after this post. I'll ask you to please stop trying to ruin the hobby, but you won't listen.
