    Well, theoretically, every single part along the chain deteriorates the sound, just a matter of magnitudes. So are you willing to give up on pre-amp/power amp for an integrated? How about Step-up transformer? And DSP? As the impact of those added circuits, interconnects and powercords is...

    That’s ok Mike, actually you were right about people’s intention of asking for opinion. I’ve realized that asking around for opinion before purchase is just to seek for recognition from others, in other words you buy it sooner or later. Therefore I seldom seek for opinions now, if really want...

    Hi Mike, didn’t expect you saw this and replied here. No, you are so wrong, I‘m nobody so there’s no point to “reveal myself” :p. Anyways just some random rumbling we are all good here. I’m still a big fan and love Analogplanet because I understand what you’ve been telling people about vinyl...

    No Bonzo, that’s not the point. I was upset not because he didn’t read/answer my questions, I can totally understand if he just ignored my email and didn’t reply at all. I was upset because there were so many ways of replying an email that can add value and be helpful, even as simple as “ I...

    I once emailed Mr. Fremer asking for his opinion about a potential “turntable upgrade”, that was a long email with lots of info about my vinyl gear and why I was contemplating an upgrade.
