    Based on the non-submission that followed, it sounds like this was entirely on you.

    Didn't have the time to think up a proper full-length essay, was too swamped with assignments. I did think that someone else would hit on the idea though.

    Sorry, didn't mean that to sound discouraging. Unless you have sour grapes about the Element*, write it up anyway! There is always room for more comedy.


    *You shouldn't.

    Hah no worries I've already got my hands full with the Bifrost Multibit anyway. If I did enter and win I would probably have given it to a friend who needed/would have liked a mid-fi DAC.

    Brilliant. Give that man a Golden Schlong Award!

    Do hope to read more of this!

    In this context, shouldn't you have your hands full of Bimbo?

    So sorry I am a little too late to the party but the above write up IMO should be highlighted and permanently attached to the main board.

    Unfortunately many if not most have never bought a single CD let alone LP and probably can hardly understand what this is all about. Too bad you couldn't win but this is my personal Thank You.

    @Audio Zenith glad you enjoyed. Hope to own PMx2's someday - I think they are awesome, keep up the good work!

    Thank you and I hope so too but I'm sure since you know how to listen to music for MUSIC, not for background NOISE you probably already are where you want to be with whatever gear you already have. More time with LIVE UNAMPLIFIED MUSIC, not some PMx2s or whatever would actually be my wish for all and most of the hi-fi nonsense will then disappear on its own.

    Would actually be nice to see a poll with at least a thousand votes to get an idea of how often members here get to experience unamplified live music these days.

    @JoshMorr deserves the win, but I'm not sure the JDS The Element would be an appropriate prize, hence I'm sending The Element to Singapore.

    This makes it sound like you have something against Singapore...

    Oh no, not at all. Only against followers of Emperor Xi and Chinese hegemony who insist Taiwan is part of China.
