Purifi Class D: Junk?

It is best just to ignore George. He goes on and on saying the same nonsense about stuff he has never listened to. Let him have the last word or it will go on forever......go on George, you know you have to.

Maybe we should use a new word for people like this. How about Anti Snake Oiler or ASO. Much better than "fuser" (word made up by George to vilify fuse lovers). If you look closely you will see the humor.....he he. I love you George. You are so entertaining.

He goes on and on saying the same nonsense about stuff

More like calling you out, on your snake oil mods, that you don’t backup with any measurements, just a fusers "trust me it works"

Let him have the last word or it will go on forever

I’d say you just tried to have the last one, just like a fuser.

More like calling you out, on your snake oil mods, that you don’t backup with any measurements, just a fusers "trust me it works"

So if there aren’t measurements it can’t work, eh?  Guess you can’t just trust your own ears without some kinda measurement for justification — is that it Georgie?  Are you really that insecure about your own hearing and/or listening ability?

I bought Ric’s original Millennium DAC decades ago and it still works and sounds great, even without measurements.  Hundreds of audiophiles have bought his products and his mods, and he’s earned lots of praise and a solid reputation doing it.  Measure that Georgie.  And by the way, what the hell have you ever produced other than half-assed, armchair quarterback criticism of other people’s work?  Keep on measuring Georgie while the rest of us enjoy listening. 

So if there aren’t measurements it can’t work, eh?

No, it means they don’t know what their doing if non are done and presented, so give this kind of modder a very wide berth, "could" even be dangerous to the owner let alone the equipment.

Measure that Georgie.

Measurements/testing is half the story, listening to what was done is the other, and if you don’t like it, mod again using measurements and test once again, till your happy with both.

That’s how any decent piece of equipment is developed. not with snake oil and voodoo and "trust me’s"

Keep on measuring Georgie while the rest of us enjoy listening.

Keep on doing both listening/bench testing and measuring as they very much do! back each other up.

Most high end companies choose parts and execution by ear after they have done the measurement game.  This is because they know that a ton of stuff that changes the sound cannot be measured.  

Here is a list of companies that do this.....George would call them Snake oilers......but he won't:  NONE of these companies shows measurements before and after changing parts and execution.....NONE.

1. Wilson Audio
2. Audio Research
3. Gryphon Audio
4, Constellation Audio
5. Parasound (designed by John Curl...who uses parts for their sound)
6. Magico
7. Kef
8. Odyssey
9. VAC
10. Von Schweikert Audio
11. Rowland Audio
12. Merrill Audio (used Synergistic fuses in older amp)
13. GR Research
14. Spatial Audio
15. etc. into infinity

Almost all tube manufacturers....they pick caps, etc. by ear....and they don't measure any different.

Almost all cable manufacturers

Most equipment stand manufacturers......I mean, can you measure a better stand?

There are companies that do little parts tweaking like Pass, Cherry Audio, Schitt, etc.   However, there are more that tweak than do not....by far.  Please George, call all these high end companies out.  Let them know you will never listen to another Wilson speaker, etc. until they show measurements that confirm their sonic pickings......Go, George......do your duty.
