Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?

Now, that’s the spirit. Mike, if you wanted to upgrade something what could it be ? Continuum turntable ? Further improve the wall current ?

I did hear the word that DartZeel was the best alternative to tube equipment.

When audiophiles perceive audible differences where non exist in casual non level matched non time synchronized comparisons it isn’t due to a placebo effect. It is due to how we hear, process and remember sound. We can not effectively compare an aural memory to real time sound. So while it may seem the same as a placebo it is not. The aural memory is incomplete and was filtered by steered focus.

so you are just a common run of the mill ASR troll. have a nice day.

“so you are just a common run of the mill ASR troll. have a nice day.”

aren’t you the same Mike Lavigne who was challenged to a blind test between your Rockport Sirius III turntable and a digital copy of it made on a Tascam digital recorder and failed to hear any differences? Are you really someone who should be labeling other audiophiles and dismissing them? Didn’t you learn your lesson? 

ahha, Amir did load your lips. 20 year old hifi history. not quite what happened many many years ago. Amir drags this out from time to time. sigh.

is that the best you can do? you need to be a better troll. anything original from you yourself?

I am naive to think that all people can train their ears in acoustics ...Some are ideologically deaf and need double blind test to say anything ...

Now mocking someone about an alleged failed blind test is the last argument it seems ...😁

I hate ad hominem attacks on credibility ... With or without blind test ...
