@millercarbon,
I’m in no position to "rule" on anything concerning this thread or forum and nor would I want to. This is an open forum discussing audio/music topics so it’s subjective by default (And that’s perfectly fine). There are many knowledgeable and experienced contributors here and I’m grateful for their presence.
Given the quality and diverse audio experiences shared by participants there are going to be differences of opinions and perspectives. In my opinion this is good. I can understand one’s enthusiastic support for favorite ( In some cases anticipated expectations) products owned that perform well.
I just find the redundant -monotomy of posting of the same brands pointless after a while. So for me this is an example of hyperbolic posting. Again , this is just my observation that I chose to express openly here. By all means people are free to post what they champion. Some here will applaud this approach and others will grow weary. At this point most of us get it, Raven and Tekton. I’ll say it again, home audition of audio products is the best way to judge them (When this option is available). What alternative method is superior to actuality hearing a product?
As mentioned earlier differences of reactions and perspective is the expected result on an open forum such as Audiogon represents.
@ozzy62 congratulations and I believe the higher level intergrated amplifier makes the comparison to your fine separate components even more compelling.i truly anticipate your listening impressions.
