Are you joking? Did you not understand what I wrote?

Unfortunately, the web is filled with self proclaimed experts on the backs of others actual experiences or statements. Most of whom could never afford or actually pursue the purchase of the $10, $20 or $50K components that they want to hear all the dirt about. I'm glad that Jay is around to share his opinions and experiences, you simply have to sift through what is simply subjective opinion or factual information. But I'm not about to get on that boat with people I don't know and risk burning my bridges. If I feel that a component is a comparatively excellent component then I'm happy to share that, the rest Ill stay quiet on, unless I was personally burnt somehow like I did a while ago with Focal.

So why would you get in anyone's "boat". The only proper way to choose audio equipment is to audition it for yourself. It is easy to cull through the chaff by visiting dealers before trying A/B ing it in your own room. Only large speakers and possibly a amp or two are the exception.

How a component sounds (in that specific chain of equipment) is just one aspect of the experience and use. The user interface, the physical operation, the setup, the communication between components, all vary greatly and can be implemented differently. One size does not fit all and its all part of the experience and use.

No, I do not audition equipment at my local Dealer, as 9/10 Dealers here do not have the level of equipment I purchase on a regular basis on their floor. And If they do, I certainly wont pay retail so I wouldn't bother them to begin with. I'm hoping I answered whatever question you were asking me.

But we're getting a bit off topic here. How I purchase or select my equipment is of no relevance or concern to anyone.

To a certain point I was agreeing with your point in post #761 that the web and its so called experts is not a place I use to determine what products to purchase.

Yep. I understood what you wrote. I also deduct from your response that Jay has bigger cojones than you do.

Can you ask the Krell COO to hire somebody to answer their support email because I've been waiting 1+ month for them not to answer my support question. Seriously, I can't see myself buying another Krell product. I've waited years for some support issues not to be dealt with. Krell support is rubbish.

Jay, good luck in 2022. your channel is definitely different--in a good way--the passion speaks for itself. I can hear the collective guffaw of audio snobs and audio elites that look down at your YouTube space (eff them!)...it ain't easy to build a subscriber base as you know. Mikey makes good points, I'm looking forward to your honest assessment of his system or his version of "reality."
 
Best holiday wishes to you and your family Jay.

Keep up the excellent work on your channel. Very relevant and insightful!
