@rcaguy Welcome to Audiogon. I read both of your new posts and thought they are well thought out. Having both the expertise and equipment to make meaningful measurements to supplement your listening to a piece of equipment being considered for purchase is commendable. As you stated:
And for decades my policy was not to buy anything that did not publish meaningful technical specifications that were the minimum performance a buyer could expect.
For example, there was thread not too long ago which described that a tube amplifier from a well-known designer produced far less than its stated watts per channel and in fact the size of the transformer could not possibly produce its stated WPC. Your testing might have caught this prior to purchase.
I have been a member here a long time and can tell you that there will be a lot of members who will find that the criticism hurled at you above is totally unwarranted.
