I've always kinda liked Mike, but his retraction of a review he posted on a small component at the insistent behest of big rivals left a bad taste TBH.
He didn't feel that independent and free spirited to me after that one.
which one?

Michael Fremer does not care that much about digital. So he could care less about the MQA fight. Of course he is not up on the whole digital thing as he does not really care that much for it. I know he was at my place 6 months ago and told me so.
Well, Jeffy, if he does not care about digital and does not keep up on it, why is he reviewing and recommending $18,000 DAC that did not
sound all that good and measured poorly, and who's sole feature is that it decodes MQA?
I know the print magazines are teetering on the edge, but is his job security that in question that he is making him self look
very foolish with a mindless MQA shill, of which he knows absolutely nothing about..but he DOES know he would not want a DAC
without it. Ultterly laughable.
Fremer is hardly a shill. The verbage used is that he wasn;t ready to buy a DAC that didn;t have MQA, which to me says that the MQA DAC might have sounds better as a result of everything so he felt compelled to wait and not that MQA was the great equalizer.
I have a number of folks that have heard great dacs and are in wait mode to see how MQA plays out. Nothing wrong with that
Sorry, that makes no sense.
MQA was the golden scepter that awoke his digital heart...yeh sure...please.
The fact that there are people who are waiting to purchase based on how "MQA plays out" is exactly
what the negative effect of this scam is. TAS and Stereophile have convinced the gullible that this may
be an essential "feature.
Now you understand why 18 DAC makers have signed on and paid to fees, and sent the blueprint of their
DACs to Bob Stuart. Fear.

MQA Truth, I welcome your participation in these threads on WBF because you bring an alternative point of view, and you appear to know some inside information about both the technology, politics and incentives/motivations behind those driving the format. However, I find it difficult to assess the value of your comments because of the lack of context surrounding your identity and industry affiliations. Many members here share their audio backgrounds and system, and they often have a long history of posts to which one can refer. Together, these provide a context by which we can understand the level of their experience. This, in turn, helps us to better value their contributions.
Do you care to tell us a bit more about yourself, how it is that you seem to know "facts" about MQA, and why you have joined the forum to share your views with the membership?

What? No tape?!
Seriously, thanks for posting the vid.
His enthusiasm for vinyl is infectious. I.
This is very true. He just wades through all the hifi with just a touch of commentary for each component. Once he pulls out an LP and starts talking you see where his real love is and the passion he has for it.
I thought that was hilarious about the furry people and his movie.
I've seen them walking around downtown Boulder in costume but never knew it was some kind of nationwide fetish thing, lol....
