In the Thread: Josh: My visit to Romy the Cat's Macondo
Post Subject: Visit doomed to failurePosted by anthony on: 2/2/2019
I was just trawling over at diyaudio.com (like I do) and a recently updated thread caught my eye and had these tidbits from Josh the Visitor regarding critique of Macondo/Melquiades and Romy's stated viewpoints of GSC:

Well. I disagree that digital has to be intrusive. 
I disagree that SSamps are too. 
I don’t want to see a ribbon tweeter or standard Subwoofer in my horn. 

I cant stand SET sound. It bores me to death. I need the fresh kick and dramatic punch of a dynamic SS AB amp. 

Reg. the digital i know that having all vinyl-tube chain, and plugging a really good ADDA in the chain that gives exactly 1:1 pass through, u cant hear a difference. Fact. You have to do it blind though  then everybody will fail distinguishing! I bet my *** on that. 
So everything that u “touch / eq / deform” within the 01010 part... is up to you. If this sounds bad, then u did something wrong. Likely vast majority does 

Even if it does touch a molecule, room modes, phase delay, unlinearity is by far more intrusive. Its like comparing that molecule with a galaxy.



I do not add this quote here to discredit Josh in any way nor to belittle his views/experience, but it is fairly easy to see how the visit was doomed before Josh even knocked on the door.  Just like trying to mix oil and water, it was never going to be successful.
