Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Perhaps someone can help him get a clue about audio gear and listening to music.

Speaking of what was arguably the worst sounding component ever with its "fingernails scratching chalkboard" high end response, here's his take:

"The Crown IC 150 was a state-of-the-art preamplifier when it came out in 1971. It offered an unheard of level transparency [cough, cough] due to its ultra-low noise levels... Pair this with a DC-300 and you're in HiFi heaven [more like Hell to me!]...

These tone and Loudness controls are why so many people love the sound of old tube gear. It's not the tubes; it's the more euphonic equalization that the older gear used to get better sound out of the big but not particularly tough speakers of the day."

Where do you begin with such profound ignorance?

edit: It actually could get worse! :)
