Nope, when I read the description on Ebay I had to stop and think what is he talking about? When I figured it out I thought just like high end audio.

 How about you confine your attacks to MQA where it is warranted, instead of an attack on High End Audio instead where it isn't necessarily warranted ?

Always remember I'm into high performance audio not high end.

 I will put it to you that many members are fed up with the " Penis Envy" type posts about the High End by the usual suspects, instead of judging each item on it's own merits, heaven forbid, by actually listening to some in a well implemented room for example, with decent speakers carefully positioned  There is no way that I could ever afford some of the high end stuff that I have heard at friend's houses, although not all came close to anywhere near  justifying the asked price.

Alex snake oil is deceptive marketing. Nice rant but I help people set up rooms at shows.

 

I hope that they are far better set up than the rooms I have been in at many Hi Fi shows !

You also appear to be taking perhaps more credit than is due in the war against MQA

 Chris appears to deserve quite a bit more credit in this area.

Alex, i do damage control at shows. 

 

Just ask yourself when I was working on opposing MQA in 2016 with my friend the late Charles Hanson what was Chris going? 

 

Without the support of Chris you wouldn't have this huge thread where more importantly there has been technical exposes by both Mansr, Archimago and others, as well as user reports where the vast majority preferred the original NON MQA versions.
