Preamp Deal of the Century
I don’t get the sense that you took a look first before posting,  I looked at these words where it is conceded that -  a mix up in a case -  one man operation  - requests, orders and building  - rigours of point to point wiring  -  dealing...

take a look at where Mick lives — it’s hardly surprising that mistakes are sometimes made.  Where does he live and why ought where someone live be some reason to indulge in making the mistakes you mention?  
U2 live. Music realism
Somehow there exist some CDs that I bitterly regret having in my collection and I wish for some kind fairy to whisk them away while I am sleeping..  U2, along with Adele, Springsteen, and one Robert Plant solo which has no redeeming features.  
what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
Eric Carmen lifted Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto. Some may remember the song All by Myself. Also Never gunna fall in love again.  That was Rach's symphony No 2. Different genres, so no comparison.

@jhajeski Hey just curious, looking to see if any of our happy (or unhappy) Supratek owners have mated it to a solid state amp?   And if any, what’d you mate it to and how did it go? Me too, being in fishing mode for such a combination.  No hur...

I'm always very enthusiastic to learn what suggestions celebrities, musicians and other Elites have for new directions in public policy and international diplomacy. Bono knows this.  
ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements.
The author says that the "trouble" with measurements is that their meaning is difficult to convey to their readership.  That's all.  So, they prefer adjectives (words that describe). Measurements are one way of communicating knowledge. Words are... 
Are all dBs created equal?
@erik_squires Efficiency is about output per watt, so 1w/1m is used.  The input voltage is adjusted based on the impedance.  That's clear to everyone but me.   
Are all dBs created equal?
Depends on how the dB measurement is reported. There are two common methods.  They may differ (despite being the same number) in actual sensitivity depending on ohms. dB 2.83V/1m or dB 1W/1m  
what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
That Led Zep version of Taurus by the band Spirit. Rolf Harris also covered LZ’s version but I think its probably best if that is not mentioned in polite company. When the Levee Breaks - original was written and recorded circa 1929. A couple do...

Someone other than myself may have already noticed this (including Trent Reznor) but I'll mention it anyway - Johnny Cash made Hurt his own.  
Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit
@rbstehno Thankyou. I don’t watch videos, I prefer written words, so what you say I cannot comment on. This is a copy and paste of a few select quotes written by Amir. I have no comment as to whether a grudge or any manner of hostility may be wri... 
Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit
@rbstehno I think this reviewer might have a grudge against Danny/GR research I don't believe this is correct.  Please corroborate your allegation with substantive evidence.  
Competitive class D amp suggestions
In unrelated news, Topping has recently released a new version of its D90SE DAC, called the D90LE, and that is unremarkable in the current context. What may be of interest, perhaps for educational purposes only, is that included in the new firmwa...

@hilde45  Darko reports that Amir is not the absolutist objectivist What Darko is quoting from Amir is on the public record over at ASR.  It is not news.
