I'm sorry but I can't read this thread until page 20. It needs to be burnt in

Is anyone having issues with embeds sounding somewhat indistinct and lacking "shine"? Is there a way we could get Astral to install an SOTM SNH-10G audiophile-grade ethernet switch in the Something Awful Forums server room?

I've gotten better results from this thread by using a power cleaner on my wireless router. Try that.

Also seriously goldmine the last thread. I have read like the entire thing twice because audiophiles ftw.

Stereophile is amateur poo poo compared to The Absolute Sound

(from their list of best music NAS/servers of 2023)

the best thing about that NAS is that the reviewer says the pitch adjustment sounds like poo poo but recommends the product anyway

A432 is one of the best audiophile snake oil holes, lyndon larouche was a big proponent so you know it's good poo poo

at some point i think every audio magazine realized that they were getting old and switched from using "Gaucho" or some smooth jazz record for testing, to namedropping "Random Access Memories", "Silent Shout" or the TRON Legacy soundtrack in an attempt to look cool

Telarc Digital owned. They had a reputation as being the digital label even the anti-digital audiophiles kind of liked. This was the really early days of digitally recorded LPs where some labels didn't really know what they were doing.

Wasn't Pioneer DJ's stuff pretty well-regarded? More than their general electronics stuff these days, anyway, even if you were kind of paying for a brand name on an OEM Technics-like.
