Thank you John for your opinion. I use that preamp more than four years with great satisfaction.

It always warms my dark, shriveled heart to see people rant and rave about science on an international, engineering- and technology-centric (ostensibly, at least), forum that's predicated on billions of man-hours in pursuit of the very technologies and science that made the infrastructure necessary for such a rant to even be possible.
I just feed off such irony.

...like carbon dating is off by 5 orders of magnitude, Brown's gas, unlimited free energy from the zero point...
It is interesting how people operate throughout the decades. It is almost always the same. Did most of you know that experts in the USA maintained that jet engines were impossible, even as the Germans and the British were making them? We like to bury our mistakes in opinion, but the same problem still goes on. Many people are comfortable with what they learned in college, and are open to little more. Oh well.
There are experts with vested interests on both sides of any issue. Considering British jets were patented (not secrets) with working models you would need to provide some reference as to what experts (probably had a lot to lose).
Jim Winey was told the same thing by engineers at 3M where he worked at the time.
He was told his Magnepans wouldn't work, while they played in the lab in front of the guys who were saying they wouldn't work. Never forget him telling that story.

It's fun to ride the line of Clarke's 3 laws, but we're also wont to only remember the times when the experts are shown wrong. And oftentimes they're proven "wrong" years later as technology evolves.
That said, with audio it seems more people are hoping for their subjective pet theories to be true in the face of information that outmodes them...

There is no specific 'subjective pet theory' as far as I am concerned. I just follow the evidence.
The LSD should be required reading for all engineering and science students (and others as well),
so they can understand what science really is, and is not. More of his related works:

In my freshman Philosophy of Science course, I was asked to write a philosophical paper
on continental drift. Even back then it was considered to be a scientific fact. To this day,
I still have no idea what the point was supposed to be. On the other hand, economics was
taught as a science, and I didn't get that either. https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/robert-j--shilleron-whether-he-is-a-scientist

I went to grammar school...prep for oxbridge...economics was taught together with politics...does that make more sense?
