I am not sure how much I can help, but to my disdain not a few audio manufacturers actually pander to this sector, to lure by making usually exaggerated claims. I know well that expectation, that yearning for improvement and, most terribly, being unsure how to choose or navigate the sea of information on the internet.

For every email I do answer there are several that I just let go.

Section 1 is about my email policy and why I chose to make an exception to one. On the other hand, you can also skip certain sections to what you're interested in: But I think, should you be patient, you may be rewarded with an unusually interesting read, with an insight into how I see things that no amount of digital tracking or AI can provide.
