Audio Science Review = "The better the measurement, the better the sound" philosophy

As to the Benchmark L4 versus the CJ pre-amp, one of the comments was The LA4 certainly isn't "lacking" anything. It's just transparent. But I could say it does 'lack' certain things in the sense of comparison to the CJ tube preamp.  Based on my experience with both brands, I found CJ to have a house sound, not one that I or my friends prefer.  The Benchmark, on the other hand, stock is clean and clear but lacking in areas the CJ excels-body and warmth of expression.  

There is a cure for the Benchmark.  Replace the computer quality, cheap-ass regulators, power and filter caps, maybe parts of the audio board, the Op-amp, etc. with audio (much more costly) parts.  Benchmark products are only okay stock but can be great when modified.  Their HDR-1 DAC is a great example of a terrific design with mediocre execution.  It is a giant killer when modified.  

You can't help yourself to defend yourself on an open forum, unlike your own ASR. 

Why wouldn't Amir defend himself?

If someone was defaming you on another public forum, wouldn't you think it reasonable to defend yourself?  It makes sense to defend yourself directly to the criticisms in said forum, given people are mostly disinclined to come over to ASR to take a nuanced view of what goes on there.  As we've repeatedly seen the forum strawmanned in this thread.

Do you expect to just be able to publicly  criticize anyone you want, and with any level of misrepresentation, without any consequence or pushback?

@fleschler , would it be safe to say you are not an electrical designer or electrical engineer? If so, under what authority do you make the following comment?

Maybe I'm doing a good thing getting you to waste your time here (as well as @crymeanaudioriver who has more time to excoriate us here as well as on ASR).  

Again with with lies @fleschler . I have now written, I think 3 times, that I do not participate on ASR, and have not in some time. If you have to resort to lying to make your point, I can only assume your position is weak, and you have internal conflict. Please see my Jung quote much earlier.

Is this becoming a right to free speech discussion?

There is a right to remain silent when confronted with an angry crowd, as some may know goes back a couple millennium.
