Dear @has2be  : Normally before I write any post to give an answer/opinion to any Agoner first than all I make a fast research to know whit whom I'm talking: is a troller and audiophile or a music lover or " every thing ". I try to know his answers in other threads and his own audio system and many other things.

You already gave very good answers to than person whom not only to you but to any one he just " don't listen " and does not cares to listen any one even that he never have tigth facts or gave explanations other that " numbers/specs " with out explaining those " numbers "  means and how affects our listening experiences,  all the time bla, bla bla, etc. and nothing more, he owns a true mediocre home audio systems where he can's be aware almost of nothing really that can help to any one of us but he always posts " thousands of pictures " that per sè explain nothing.
He  is more a very good photographer and web navegatotor than a true expert audiophile or music lover but the Agoners when looks those pictures/links and his bla, bla, bla thinks he is an " expert ": what a dissapoint about. His knowledge levels are really low.

He thinks is an expert on all audio/music subjects when it's not and far away from there, even never talks about MUSIC only hardware a mediocre hardware. 

Here it's his fabulous system that he thinks is a wide high resolution one and I'm not trying to diminsh it I only try to put things in the rigth " perspective " to understand that man attitude :

the system has many weaks but one terrible are those metal mats in the TTs. It's the worst place to use metal and this man is using in  both TTs and he is extremely satisfied with. Metal is an enemy in analog but in direct contact with the LP is the worst one place.
In other threads I posted the why's about and I don't will post again here, is only an example of what is wrong ( between several other " things ". ).

A good quality performance audio system depends not of money but first than all to knowledge levels to builded. There exist not the rigth knowledge levls.


""" 
Because everything sound dynamic with high efficient speakers, better with full range paper drivers    """



that/his statement speaks very clear and is a true fact that proves all what I posted before.
That statement is totally ABSURD for say the least and makes no sense at all.

When some one like that man thinks that our listening experiences sound dynamic through " efficient speakers " means that persons understand nothing about dynamic sound and where really belongs that " sound dynamic ".

Ribbons normally are non-efficieny/low sensitivity speakers and the sound dynamic can be just glorious, same with electrostatic speakers or any other of speakers design type and certainly that the drivers does not needs to be " full range paper drivers " .
 Exist " thousands of speakers where drivers are builded with differents materials than paper and that are just extraordinary as no one single paper driver speakers and certainly not a full range driver that per sè has a very high FIM distortion.

Btw, I listened to those Zu audio spekers that are designed by  a  truly              " idiosincratic "  designer and the speakers performs in the same way, not only that the overall idiosyncratic development goes deep through the speakers cables and the amp that the designer choosed: First Watt class D one.
I heard with the FW and with  a XA Pass amps, idiosyncratic as it's the XA makes a better job with out doubt.

His posts are full of no sense statements or with very knowledge levels on almost any audio/music subjects.

I can go on and on with several examples as the one about " efficinte " but it's totally useless because not only he just is not willing to learn but he in reality can't learn because his full human been limitations and in the other side it does not helps to any one but to know whom relly he is.

Just my opinion. 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

and with very low knowledge levels...

R.

"  to understand that man attitude :"". NO, to understand from whom and where comes the posts and no willing to learn attitude.

Hi Raul, 

It certainly makes it less enjoyable and inviting when someone refuses to allow others to express their own opinions or discredits them . More importantly , passing along some knowledge along the way and learning some from those different experiences others have to pass on often gets lost along the way.
One thing that most open minded and knowledgeable people learn quickly is there are not just many choices but also very few hard rules with many exceptions or in general as they say. 
Some folks just can't escape the personal bias of ownership even in the face of reality that they aren't much past mid fidelity in the grand scheme of all things audio. The guy who knows what he has , appreciates it , maximizes it's performance in his budget and to his preference while still respecting and appreciating the choices and opinions of others is always, always the smarter man and the better to learn and learn from. 
The ones who refuse to see past their own biases and belittle anyone in difference to their opinions often just spew general knowledge about their audio pieces while critisizing others audio they most times no nothing first hand about.
There is a lot of experience and knowledgeable guys on this forum,but I wonder how many less the argumentative narrow views of a few have caused to no longer be as active.
Keep spinning them and enjoy the music.
Cheers...
