Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it
Debating whether some use the report button to often has nothing to do with free speech is part of the point, yes,  but I also question this use of these terms "thought police" , "snowflakes " and others used to stifle debate and inject invective....

All through it, if you look. Any mention of "free speech, freedom of speech " and the like is mention of the constitution. Like I said haven't the foggiest idea...

Nothing in this forum has anything to do with your first amendment right of speech which only applies to government action. If you're not being tossed in jail or fined by the state for your audiogon posts then relax. You can even yell fire in a cr...

Amp or DAC?

Amp or DAC?
I have no idea what you’re running but a well implemented purifi or Ncore class D amps will better most AB amps in noise except the Benchmark AHB2. Your DAC, even ones that don’t measure state of the art should have less noise than good SS amps. I... 
Bass and the REQ room simulator
I haven’t tried this part of REW it’s hard enough learning the basics. I will say I don’t use traditional subwoofers thinking about it though but my speakers will go to 35hz pretty flat until they roll off to 24hz. Dutch and Dutch 8c. I am running... 
High end stereo preamps? Worth it?
Analog  volume control is generally better. The truncated bits is true when dealing with 16 bit DACs not so much with 32 bits.  
High end stereo preamps? Worth it?
You don't need analog volume control it can be done in the digital domain. You don't need a preamp in a totally digital system.

1st Post Intro & Ramblings
European companies are ahead of US companies in state of the art active speakers incorporating DSP. Genelec,Kii,  Dutch and Dutch, Grimm, PMC, GGNTKT. I’ve noticed most here are still filling rooms with piles of boxes and worrying about a stupid m... 
1st Post Intro & Ramblings
I must be a baby boomer in the future my system consists of active speakers with DSP and a streamer. I had to remove some acoustic treatment as it interfered with the speakers DSP.
