@jerryg123 that is a rather toxic rant on your part and really unwarranted. By any measure, the Purifi modules set an incredible standard for state of the art in amplification not just at their price, but at almost any price.
It's like photography. Bruno created an 100 megapixel camera, with super high dynamic range, incredible optical resolution, and perfect color rendering, and he did it for $2,000. Now some people are really offended by this, both because it is so much better than what they own, but also because the plebs can now own something better than what they have. They could just buy it themselves, but then that would require accepting its superiority. Then there are a different group of people who love, for whatever troubles it may have, the look of film, grain, inconsistencies, lower effective resolution and all. They like their colors a bit more vivid and skewing to red, and they like their images a bit softer. Bruno's new camera is not for them.
Which photographer are you @jerryg123 ?
