@juanmanuelfangioii Critical thinking and listening are skills. Amir has neither of these?

You have made an unsubstantiated accusation. Prove it beyond reasonable doubt for all on Audiogon to bookmark. For the record."

For the record.... Testing a Leema Acoustics Dac. He plugged it into a 120 volt main and nothing happened - no output. It took him a half hour to work out it needed 230 volts. This is the man whose measurements some trust. Does that handle the critical thinking part?

@goofyfoot It sounds like you have to make up your own mind and be your own person. Arguing with an ASR member about your subjective audio experience will drive you mad. It's a bit like talking about politics with an extremist. The conversation will always be framed by the extremist and you'll lose the thread. In essence, you know what you heard.

Μay I add that CAT has led many an audiophile to CATS (constant audio-tinkering syndrome).

The effects are measurable in hard currency and there is no known cure -- yet.

@juanmanuelfangioii So @noske you are a faithful follower of the brother John Birch?

The brother John Birch is unknown to me. 

Should that be a question rather than an assertion as it is phrased, the answer is obviously no.

The measurements provided are what the audio analyser Audio Precision APx555 spits out.  

It is not uncommon for people who are American to forget that much of the rest of the world operates on variants of 240V (220, 230) and 50 Hz.
