Found some interesting comments on an independent web site, Twogoodears.
I'll copy it, it is from 2009 with original lines from Arthur Salvatore and a comment from Stefano Bertocello - Twogoodears owner -, we will n...

.... the usual marketing blubber. The more expensive a High end Product is, the more superlatives you need to make it superior to anything else. You want the big bucks? You need a big mouth first.but we all know how this business runs. What amazes me...

Sometimes I can't avoid to read some "comments" from a reviewer named Myles Astor. I seriously got the impression that he is not only ultra stupid ( I mean really dead in the area above the eyes), he is really proud of his nonsense.I did read some of...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Any Of course it is about hardware and I do not know why you feel that it is completely useless and why the conversion of fat cow into a racehorse would be valid. The higher sampling rate then 44K is better and move from ...

I think, all those - endless - discussions about Digital Playback simply miss the target by a mile. When the CD was launched it was "perfect sound forever".And what kind of discussions we have had in the last 20 years? Always about hardware. 44.1, 48...

Stitch, narrative is very interesting. I never had new Meitner’s DACs. I hear it countless time and each time it was very bad sound but it was always was in context of other brainless people sound and I do not know if ...

... is quite a long journey. In the last 15 years we got every month a new, sonic revolution in sonic digital Playback. We got up sampling, HDCD ... SACD, separate units, digital cables, separate master clocks, output stage with tubes and so on and o...

May I ask what do you think is so special about those?I listened to both Designs (Ampeggio ] Ampeggio Due) some time ago at a Manufacturers Demo and I didn't get what they are good for. I had problems to find something like a soundstage, from the fre...

Audio Internet has the advantage to show a lot of information. But nearly no knowledge. Knowledge and opinion is something totally different.It is simply real life: When there is a group of 20 idiots and one intelligent one, most "think", the bigger ...

Silbatone made a Demo with those Horns (the big ones)They said, it is one of three existing WE Horns, made 1935/36 (only mod is the addition of the tweeter you can see there). One Horn is made for 3500 Visitors, so we got a 7000 People Demo with them...

Yes, these kind of question „How does it sound“ are very old and a classic. Answering those I gave up long time ago.
I replaced my answer to the socalled audiophile language and my friendships are growing:

Everyone (Reviewer) has his own kind of way to stay in this business. Most buy their stuff at reviewers price from manufacturer, some start with their own gear and think about upgrades and how it can be done ( is a "recommendation " review better for...

It is always a better solution to go with high sensitive speaker designs in combination with tube amps. The Lamm amps will work very well with such sensitive speakers.Speakers should be always seen in a combination with a matching amp. Makes life muc...

Well, at the end of the day it is a personal choice. I listened to that WE-Demo at High End 2012 and beside all pros /cons there was a situation which was very unique: The room was always crowded, more smiling faces than in other rooms....of course y...

There is absolutely no other business out there, where you can find so many idiots, be it reviewer, be it customer who sell / buy products they have no idea about.
Talking about reviewers is wasted time, because you and I (maybe ...

Personally I am not interested to talk about reviewers, because it is wasted time (they don't review something, they design a Product Placement and maybe they add that they 'like' it...)But, I really would like to know what situation they describe as...

When I read raves from low powered amps with such speaker designs I ask myself, is it product placement or is there a different kind of listening among Americans, Japanese, Europeans...?
