I was thinking about the topic.
Why there is no more thorough deconstruction of specific
products/claims.
1. The level of disinformation is close to 100% almost the whole audio

is futile to even try
2. The claims by voodoo

RE: Audio Note - they have a rather small but cultish following that
strongly believes in the brand. However, there are a lot of people out

I've not heard a lot of their gear, but what I have didn't move me to
pursue the question any further.

To be fair to all parties, it is also important to define what

If it means hooking the final design up to a system and seeing if it
sounds good and exhibits no aberrant behavior under load, then I'm
positive that every piece of audio equipment qualifies to one extent or
