Install Classic Shell and get Steve Balmer fired. The biggest thing is they keep re-arranging the furniture. Like where the hell did system restore get moved to... Want to actually shut down the...

So is this series some parallel reality to the original series? You know the whole Spock / Uhura thing.

I know some around here don't care for spec sheets of any kind but the TEAC listed does up to 32/384 over USB. Teac also has solid drivers from what I have read.

The Asus Xonar Essence One looks...

I wonder how many DAC's are still converting the input, be it USB or SP/DIF, to I2S?

Really? First Polk can't remove posts on other forums. You have to have some form of administrative access. Is this enough of an answer to your "care to elaborate?". Really, you didn't get the point...

Not to mention against the rules. How about a forum where anyone mentions a Polk speaker:

The brand is trashed and Polk is accused of somehow magically scrubbing negative comments at other sites.

Funny supposition. Excepting that I actually proved my point in response to John. Emotiva is not 'scrubbing the web' of negative reviews.

You're one of those guys that simply can't get the point...

I could setup a wordpress site with appropriate plug-ins and hand coded HTML entries also. But just like you pointed out: site would get black listed, thus not showing up in any search results, thus...

For Pete's sake: Does Ducatti OWN 'Ducatti Monster Forum'? Does Ducatti OWN Vertical scope. They don't and they aren't 'scrubbing anything' from the 'web' et al.

Are you really that surprised...

You missed the point. It was asserted that EMOTIVA was making this sort of thing happen. Your example is dealing with 3rd parties. What didn't you get about that? Sorry but man, missing the forest...

For myself I went to various forums and performed a search in their query agent. I'm not buying that they could go in and skew google/bing-yahoo etc search results btw.
...

He was crystal clear in his assertion.

THAT really requires some substantiation on your part. With the nature of user forums I don't believe that for a second. I personally wouldn't purchase an Emotiva sub or pre-pro based on the negative...

Now I haven't heard every amp from every competent design house out there. With that said given my speakers, given my budget at the time, what makes anyone think I have traded sound quality off for...

Cast your net wide when it comes to research. While I haven't read all the audio enthusiast forums out there they seem to be at odds with the experience with Emotiva here. Especially in the two...

You may need to spell out what you are getting at. What I am saying is these companies (and you would have to ask them) take something like an iPad and do a tear down. With the tear down they get a...

I went the pro-audio route and picked up a Yahama PS2500 and Focusrite interface (fed by my computer via USB). This cost me a little north of $600 but is well worth it. They are both bullet proof...

I'm in no way taking into account R&D and for what I was speaking do it isn't even relevant. It simply speaks to the manufacturing costs. The outfits that take apart a tablet or ultrabook aren't...

I know for products like the iPad and such there is a company that does a tear down of one and comes up with the quality of parts and estimated cost to manufacture.

It would be interesting to see...

In the case of used vs new emotiva you may have valued opinions a bit too much :razz:

There you go baffling them with logic and having a positive opinion of your XPA-3 vs your Parasound/Adcom. Does this mean they kicked you out of the clique?

I would ask you: What claims does MIT make? This is from their website home/landing page:

"Simply put, an audio cable is a piece of wire that is used to make a random connection between audio...

Not sure what to make of this (from Audio Circle):

The nice folks from MIT cables asked us to do an A-B test of their $1500 a pair super cables with great big boxes built into the speaker lines....

Sure let me know the next time the lending program makes it's way. Please keep in mind that I will perform this SBT just to keep myself honest.

My comment was about the potential lack of not...

I think it's like that character in Mystery Men that can only turn invisible if no one looks, but only MIT works in reverse: They only make a difference if you can see them connected.
