True. Funny thing is, a lot of people think that not admitting mistakes or errors and limitations of their opinions makes them look strong. It does the very opposite, it makes them look weak -- because it is weak.
If you have self-confidence, then what does it hurt you to admit a mistake, or to...
Good point about poor streaming. The vendor at T.H.E. Show last year where I bought my speakers (PranaFidelity) used tape, vinyl and CD. All three sources sounded excellent. No streaming.
Aah, different power too, then. I guess a main, though not the only, reason for bad sound at shows is when the power delivery capacity in the venue is severely limited while most vendors use big power-sucking amps.
It must have to do with something other than Covid. I was at AXPONA 2017 and the overall sound was pretty bad, with only a few high quality standouts. Glad to hear people got their act together. Maybe the power delivery system has improved as well.
Room treatment may not change that much in terms of frequency response in mids and highs, but it does remove lots of distortions and hardness from short-distance reflections. This may not show up that much in measurements, but it very much does show up at your ears. Especially when you usually...
Yes, hearing the unit before purchase is mandatory. You need to make sure that it fits your system and your tastes.
NOS per se isn't that important to my tastes. My DAC doesn't have it.
Yes, it's plainly wrong.

Of course it's true. I have multiple proof of that in my personal experience. Heck, audiophiles sitting next to each other...
While CAT amplification sounds great on Magico M Project speakers, it cannot drive them to full dynamic liveliness. CH Precision can.
I would expect the M7 to be at best marginally easier to drive. An impedance dip to 2.6 Ohm doesn't sound too appetizing for tube amplification.
SETs...
The question is if the M7 is allegedly much easier to drive, then why are dealers using DAG if it's allegedly not needed? Lots of mixed signaling here if you ask me.
