"How do you explain to someone that a 20W amp costs more than your 100W amp? Even though it’s in the same basic packaging, differences in the chassis and feature set would put if about $100 more than a Vidar." With something that makes it different enough to consumers that they can justify the...

Good point, Gungnir has more advantages than just being a balanced Bifrost even. All things considered Gungnir seems like a hell of a value.

He reported different results than previous measurements on the Soekris DAC too. Amir does not know how to take proper measurements, document a test setup, or understand his own data. I would not take anything seriously from that hack.

I completely agree about the speakers.

I tried multiple times to give Amir clear suggestions on how to improve his documentation. He posted a thread that was better than nothing but not the level of documentation that atomicbob offered and that was not overwhelming people with documentation, just enough to explain what he had done...

That was me talking about what I would do if I got the equivalent documentation for a calibration of my work equipment. Sorry if that was unclear. I had already had a lot of back and forth with Amir about documentation that started here on head-fi and extended to his forum. In my line of work...

Yeah I tried to talk with Amir over on that forum being as kind and agreeable as I know how to be. My experience was that Amir and some of the followers over there get very defensive over someone asking questions. I would have expected a "science" based forum to appreciate an EE who works in...

Sure, fair point. There is a big variation of Engineers experience and project types. Some Engineers do a better job than others of considering compliance regulations (Safety/Environmental/EMC) with their design choices as well. There is a lot to consider for a successful project.

I suspect that you are right. I have a calibrated mic that I can use to check level later. Being that I am testing with Quads it is always easier (emotionally) to turn the volume down than up.

Some more on the Freya with LISST devices (there might be a better place to post about this, sorry); It is hard to compare Passive or J-FET mode directly to the LISST "tube" mode because of volume difference and my lack of confidence that I am matching just right but despite my confusion (I am...

Thanks for the credentials again. I am an EE who works in test and measurement for a living in Beaverton Oregon. I am not really impressed by either of our credentials though. You know what impresses me? Documentation, in one simple place easy for people to review. Equipment used...

Not a bad idea, maybe different color LEDs even. Green tubes, I think that color is taken. Maybe other colors though. I like the solid state option but may try some Tung-Sol tubes at some point.
