Four post history, only about his negative experience with the etherRegen. And in the Roon forum and god knows where else. Starting to reek of an ASR style campaign... Maybe. But you are also directing your response at the individual and not at the issue. The OP is asking for a direct response to his findings and his challenge. 3 hours ago, mansr said: He did what we're incessantly told to do: try it under the money-back guarantee. What did he get? Endless ridicule. No surprise there. Agree. 4 hours ago, RickyV said: Well maybe because the subjectivist have heard the difference and are enjoying it. I don’t and most/ all of us do not have the know how or the know why it betters SQ. Maybe we do not care that much because our goals are met. Maybe people do not like to land in discussions they can not explain, we do not have the answers. I certainly hope that John Swenson would release his paper, but respect that he is a busy man so I’ll wait. Until then I’ll enjoy it and with me about 750 or so happy customer’s. And your and ASR’s campaign is certainly not helping the release of that paper. And plissken is saying it is based on expectation bias, not anything the switch does. Anything can be "explained"-that doesn't mean the explanation is correct. You are certainly welcome to enjoy your purchase all you want. Saying it changes SQ is not the same claim as saying your perceived SQ is different when you engage in sighted listening. There's a nice listening impressions thread about the ER. This thread isn't an "impressions" thread, and it seems to me perfectly respectful that Plissken opened a separate thread about his experience and observations. plissken, mansr, Teresa and 4 others 4 2 1 Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments.

He proved his technical incompetence when talking about MQA, and used his lack of understanding to wrongly explain what he was hearing. So his subjective evaluations are clearly totally based on his expectation bias. I wouldn't put stock in a thing he says, about this, or any other product.

There's a lot that make choices not to engage in. Networking however is something I understand, something I can explain how it works, and relatively efficient use of my time to correct the misconceptions about. Your readers, and I know of two of them in the past weeks, who are much better off for it. While you seem to want to take me to task over knowing something about networking and able to resolve issues, just like ASR isn't taking on Tidal/MQA, I would rather, just like you and Tidal, find the root cause and push back. ASR isn't taking on MQA b/c "scientific" Amir can't stand Bob Stuart being criticized. Talks about what an audio genius he is, and ergo, MQA is great and can't be criticized - even the "science" of it can't be challenged. He totally over reacted to people who questioned MQA, Bob's motives, and the deceptive marketing of it.
