However, - I would be careful about labeling Stereophile as salespeople of any kind, - including "snake-oil." Stereophile is an audio enthusiast magazine that reports on what they define as high performance equipment that is classified as (generally) costing more than $1000 per component. They write and report on gear that they think "sounds good." That doesn't mean that their opinions are right or wrong, or that sometimes they aren't harmful. Think movie reviews. They are at their best when they say, - "if you've loved the original Blade Runner storyline and plot, you are likely not to like the new Blade Runner 2045." I think that it should also be recognized that context is everything. From what I've heard, there have been very few good comparative tests out there. Some of it may be due to the fact that the filter is basically a Meridian sounding filter. In my opinion, - Meridian equipment has always been overly warmed, chocolate sauce.... For me, - the cowardly and greedy position of Meridian in the market is horrible, and adding the icing of muddy sound with their cheap reverb tank called MQA keeps me a million miles away. You make good points, but I stand my my statement. They do exactly what salesmen are trained to do..dismiss legitimate concerns, and create a false reality, and create a need where none exists. They are pushing and endorsing a product that is inferior and is harmful to the consumer. I am talking about their conduct with respect to MQA. It is among the most dishonest and disingenuous episodes in their history. I don't need to say more. MrMoM, Spacehound and MikeyFresh 1 2 Link to comment
