@quiet is in opposition to Audiogon as I was to ASR. Definitely an ASR advocate member. Our members have the facts about Amir/ASR and his dealer relationship to his site and possibly to his testing results.
I own custom made tube equipment which has point to point wiring. The manufacturer has spent 40+ years in honing his soldering technique. I have proudly owned his equipment for nearly a quarter century. It would cost me maybe $50K to $100K to equal it or surpass it. ASR derides that it is tube and boutique manufactured. The ASR members who responded to me hate and despise me until I was thrown off. I didn’t realize how narrow was their scope of acceptance.
Here at Audiogon, @quiet can voice his opinion without posters casting negative aspersions on his character or person. We disagree with his statements presented as facts. However, he is a troll based on his recent Audiogon status and adamant disregard for alternative facts.
