No i think this forum shall remain . It's one the few where squeezeboxes and audio can be discussed together .
And it's a breathing hole from most of the anti intellectual pseudoscience that have debilitated our hobby ? There is a lot of audio stuff worthy of discussion . And it's actually also worth to discuss some of the pseudoscience to , namely how this kind of thinking sort of creep in to the design stage of products when the commercial magazines and other sites does completely uncritical coverage of products . It refreshing to someone voice opinions somewhere . Many really expensive products are of increasingly weird design , if someone made an effort and a good looking product that cost a lot that does not automatically make it worthwhile . But the absolute sound for example would never figure it out ? And how the backwards thinking slows progress . Finally about 20-30 years to late we are beginning to se more active speakers ? And the promising developments in switchmode tech that hypex and NAD have done ( previously I was not impressed by earlier efforts , but I ultimately thinks this will be better than traditional amps in every way ). If other forums are filled with endless treads about the greatest sounding USB cables does not mean they contribute in any way to the progress of audio or is of any help to the ones interested , the opposite is more likely. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
