+1 Carlsbad. Everybody wants to sound like a professional audio reviewer. The language is overwrought.

It is absolutely not personal, but my apology stands. The irony is that my system reflects a complete lack of dogma, including with respect to measurements. I do tubes and vinyl for goodness sakes! I know that the amp in my big rig has a rated signal to noise ratio of “>90 db”. Compare that to the Benchmark or the newest stuff from Simaudio where it’s something north of 120 db. I also know that tubes are inherently more susceptible to noise and I choose to live with both of those limitations, cuz I just love my gear! What I don’t do is try to argue that my stuff is better, or more resolving, than everybody else’s. I know better. But I have developed a passion with respect to the network switch/server/streamer end of things because that’s where I believe there is the greatest amount of misinformation in our hobby. I do not doubt that most of the people responsible for this misinformation - including you - believe very strongly in what they say. But as a long-time audiophile -even longer than my car passion - I feel an obligation to continue to share my views - respectfully - in order to help others in our hobby. One of my favorite management aphorisms is: “Don’t always believe what you think.” It’s a really good lesson to us all.

@mdalton we’re good. But you should probably start a new discussion and remove this one. |
@mdalton On the lighter side... If you think your S4 performs better when it's clean versus dirty, next time put a coat of good wax or sealant on then report back on the seat of the pants performance enhancement :) (former chipped A4 owner, 312k miles- all mine! now A3 daily driver and a Porsche for weekend fun) |
carrera 4s is my dream car. I call my chipped Golf R the poor man’s Porsche. After I chipped it, it increased hp from 256 to 311. The S4 is my wife’s (yes, I know, I married the perfect woman); anyway, since it got my car close to the power output of hers (333 hp), she made me chip hers, so it now puts out ~ 430 hp! What Porsche do you drive?
