George, respectfully, knock it off.

Ah, respectfully that’ll be a big no! If you don’t like what you read, either don’t read it, or you can try to use the report button.

Cheers George

Matt said...”This is NOT a thread on R2R vs PCM technolog. Nor is it a thread on why R2R is the ONLY design that should be used, George.”

George. This is the OP’s thread..not yours. Show some respect and move on from your tiresome lambasting of everything that does not fall within your narrow minded nomenclature of all things R2R. Start your own thread and have at it there...

Everyone who reads these threads is generally 'grown up'. That is they think, and can decide for themselves what they are interested in, and I bet we can all agree no one reading this stuff is so mesmerized and gullible that we have to collectively worry about the need to 'save' them.

SO if some guy (and his buddies) spends hours reposting the same drivel praising his particular stuff I think everyone can see through the smoke and realize what it is all about.

I have faith in the average audiophile.

And to mention.. I LOL at a posted comment about Marantz being 'dark'. Now no one mentioned Marantz in this thread until I did about the Marantz SA-10. So the sort of attempt to 'diss' Marnatz was a particularly odd thing. And actually made it pretty clear there was a lot of posturing going on, trying to make the thread a child thread for R2R ladder dacs.
The fact it is a couple of guys does not impress.
I remember KAB 'fanboys, a flock of them always praising KAB and Technics anytime a post about 'What turntable' came along. Same thing. Obvious.

No one cares.
No one is that gullible.

"I have faith in the average audiophile" Elizabeth,  I share that faith. 
I assume that the thread participants are adults capable of independently forming their own judgements.  The  repetitive dogmatic   approach can alienate and thus be unintentionally counterproductive.

Sorry for the delay. I just came home from a week long trip to London and Paris. Great family time. Loved it all. Looking forward to getting some solid listening time in this week though. Yes, I missed my stereo.... I went to one store in London but it turned out to be a tech store more then Audio. Apparently, Diavalet have crossed over to mainstream mass market audio....

I won’t have much to report for a day or three, so let’s run off topic for a bit and hear about trips you guys have recently taken to audio related locations. Shows, intentional trips to audition gear, concerts, anything that involves music, gear and traveling.

Should be a fun diversion.
