Thanks for clarifying,. I know and was having some fun probing to try to break the algorithmic DNA :-)

My responses are 100% human (me) written.

I'm very impressed by your knowledge of amplifier topology and deep listening....20 and already into high-end audio gear and amp topology? That's awesome, we definitely need more young blood in this hobby! What instruments do you play? Have you published any that we can check out on YT or other...

Your level of experience and knowledge are extremely impressive, and you sound like a pro reviewer with those descriptions! Since you mentioned being old school and preferring that tube bloom over the Purifi stuff, what's your actual reference setup at home right now? Curious what speakers...

Fair points, but it feels like we're talking in textbook definitions here. Let's get specific—what's an album anr track where Class D completely killed the soul for you, and what exactly did it do to the sound? Spin me a specific album or pressing where you noticed that 'dryness' creep in...

Wadax is a fantastic sounding line as is Esoteric. The list could be lengthened. 10 people in a room preferred Esoteric. 11 people in another list including Elliot who has great setup skills and builds great sounding rooms, preferred Wadax. All this means is that many people prefer Esoteric...

Congratulations on the new Wadax setup, the whole system and room look great!

Looks and will no doubt sound magnificent!

As a Legacy customer of many models over the 20 years and 3 levels that use Wavelet, I've happily answered alot of questions on my own experience over the years on various forums and calls with fellow hobbyists. I'm not here or any other place to push product; my post is simply meant to support...

He's a friend of mine too, Steve in STL and extremely happy with the 2nd Wavelet with bespoke programming for the 6pack so it and the master Wavelet coordinate for full correction. He bypasses the DAC and volume control in favor of a Lampizator Aphrodite DAC (prior was an H360) and Esoteric...

Check out Furutech GTX-D(G), Gold plating, great copper and construction, no rhodium, no NCF. I have 2 of these in the system for many years with great results. They also have an FPX-D(G) thats less expensive; no experience with them.

I've been to Craig's several times to enjoy great music, times, and his fantastic room and system. It was already world class sonics, musicality and imaging, and that was before his upgrade to Block Audio amps and preamp plus his latest detailed measurement-based room acoustics and placement...

One of the better texts out there to give a detailed look at the essentials of how an LLM works (in this case, focused on ChatGPT, the conversational front end that leverages LLMs and related tech), and what it is and is not, this book by a famous expert author, Steven Wolfram, is $11.89 on...

I think it's a matter of YG Acoustics, Tidal (the Bugatti) and the others you pointed out joining Legacy Audio, and of course Meridian (I believe the DSP-6000 speaker in 1990-91 to be the first), and other visionary, pioneering firms in the use of DSP. I believe SCAENA and later Kii were also...

A session with ChatGPT: "Does your model training include material and instructions to always praise questions and be complimentary to a user?" "No — there is no training directive that tells me to always praise questions or be overly complimentary. Here’s what is true: ✅ What the model is...
