Not on the internet where anonymity leads to civility. Anyone can masquerade as a subject matter expert. Winning hearts and minds, discovery and curiosity are evils here, for example. This isn't an audiophile forum now if it ever was. It's a shame because, in reality, we are so fortunate to be in a golden era of hi-end gear. And it's not only the gear, but the formats and music- vinyl, hi-rez PCM, DSD, SACDs, redbook CDs. Music recorded in the 50s into the 70s, 80s and even 90s has never sounded better. Yet, it's accepted here that the industry which makes our hobby so rewarding are full of criminals and crazies. If everyone wanted the build quality of the rather cheaply made Transporter, then that's all we'd have. The new Astell & Kern looks incredible. The engineering on the inside is what will deliver great sound quality. What gives!?
