He is not alone...the vast majority of these reviewers are all audio addicts for want of a better term...every week or month they find a new "best" component...take everything they say with a grain of salt

He talked about the receiver; stated how heavy it was, didn't say anything about its power rating, or it's price. I found no value in his reviews.

I will never forget my late father’s SONY TA-E88B AND TA-N88B PREAMP/AMPLIFIER COMBO. There was a switch on the power amplifier that allowed the listener to operate the power amplifier in class A mode and class B. So as a 10 year old curious boy, I heard the class A quality through this amplifier and waited for the beautiful heatsink to get hot ☄️🔥 and what a sound. Unforgettable experience and build quality.

I would feel truly privileged to listen at length to this kit. I definitely vote for the Chord Dave, Buchardt Audio Speakers (i love the floorstanders with Primare Pre-Amp), the KII three BXT (put simply WOW F@@@@@g WOW), DCS DACs, and the Luxman L 507x with KEF blades. I just need a bigger house and the budget to buy them.

PSM conditioner is nothing more than a bunch of inductors to filter out AC noise. It’s been done many times. Conditioners like this is heavily dependent on your AC quality. They will at best give you blacker backgrounds at the expense of limiting dynamics and soundstage.
