Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?
Nope. Sorry, but all of the real experts in the field of audio engineering and acoustics agree with me, not you.Go to http://www.biline.ca/audio_critic/audio_critic_down.htm and read back issues of The Audio Critic from issue #10 on. To do a properly controlled listening test that will be...- xjr15

Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?
Sorry if my comments irritated or upset you. Name calling will not decide any issues, and only makes you (the name-caller) appear petty and small. Is that who you are? Are you really that small? A multi-lingual man-of-the-world like you? My comments were intended to be helpful, that's all. I...- xjr15

Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?
I bought the expensive CD players because I like the way they look as industrial design artifacts; I am honest about why I bought them. I don't claim or pretend that they sound better than other CD players. The typical 'high end' audio slob/snob, on the other hand, buys the expensive...- xjr15

Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?
You implied that I don't know how to select audio components, so the above is my rejoinder to you. You are intellectually and philosophically naive, and you have been duped into buying overpriced components and accessories. No one forced you to be rude to me, but if you are rude when you don't...- xjr15

Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?
You are a horrible example of the intended target of this message. AN OPEN LETTER TO CONSUMERS OF 'HIGH END' AUDIO EQUIPMENT I don't preach. All I do is tell the simple truth. And I am not surprised or bothered by infantile tantrums posted by the believers in 'high-end' audio. Unlike the...- xjr15

Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?
My AV system is very simple. I use a Cambridge Audio universal disc player as a source. For audio I use a Smyth A8 binaural emulator (7.1 default config) into a Sennheiser HDVA 600 headphone amp into Sennheiser HD 800S cans. For video I use a Cinera 3D headset and an aging (non-UHD) Pioneer...- xjr15

Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?
Well, it's only money, after all. And I'm not sure I could have commissioned a design of my own for $17K. You certainly would pay much more than that for a 1:8 scale car model special commission. And at the time I bought the Barclay, there was one on offer on a high-end audio website for 40K...- xjr15

Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?
I couldn't find any photos of the Barclay in my living room and my digital camera is dead, so I looked it up on eBay. The sale went down on Oct 3, 2017 from budgiemusic in Germany and cost me a cool US $17,455.33 + shipping. Thanks again US stock market for making it possible!- xjr15

Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?
I have a Barclay F-1 Gold in my living room right now. I don't use it, it's part of my 'industrial design' collection. I bought it because I like the way it looks. I acquired it for about 20K USD on eBay a couple of years ago from a lady in Germany. Another cool-looking player in my...- xjr15
