They are on the right track. I am certain that the science they preach, when they actually encounter it in a more precise, more advanced version, will make them blush with shame for everything they have said and defended. Because the differences are so obvious...in everything!

I listened again the videos that Mike posted and realized what was strange about them: the music sound so familiar that I could almost swear I'd heard it somewhere before. And I found myself thinking that perhaps that's the limitation of AI: the inability to create something truly new and...

You're right, and I think about that sometimes. But how could I live without them and the magic they bring...?! :cool:

Absolutely. From my experience, all components benefit from good support feet, especially if the originals are just plastic wheels...

And that's the most important thing. But as we know, the struggles between audiophiles don't cease, and as has been the subject of debate in other topics, are audiophiles killing the industry of their own hobby? Perhaps the manifesto will help us understand what separates us...
