Some great audio engineering and measurement based reviews over here

Hi:


Are any of you familiar with this blog:

http://nwavguy.blogspot.com/2011/07/...phone-amp.html


This guy is a hard core objectivist audiophile, who designed a cost
minimized, performance maximized headphone amp with the measurements to
prove it.

Some of the reading is hilarious, as he shreds audiophoolery myths.

Enjoy.

It is a bit excessive, but there is some great stuff in there that make
audio folks and probably quite a few engineers don't realize, such as
low noise specs don't make a low-noise circuit. And detailed
measurements and comparisons to other products is a lengthy process.
