He got distortion listening on the Cobalt, and the Jitterbugs did nothing.
Marantz got a hit too, for noise levels in the SA 10.
But it's inaudible, as he said.
But in this case he felt that such an expensive product shouldn't have it to start with.
He's interesting, I expected a younger Hacker/Nerd guy.
But I'm left with the feeling you can't judge anything about Digital Audio because of Expectation Bias, which apparently we can't control.
That seems so grim to me, and if true, having a site like this one is also pointless.
We all have our Experiences.
None correlate with any others, we're on our own in the great Digital Landscape.
All products are rip offs waiting to happen.
Or not.
In any event, AQ didn't come off very well in the video and the other Cobalt Video, and there's
more on Youtube.
I'm going to look for some of his positive reviews.
