Since Amos put words in my mouth and then locked the thread, I just wanted to say that the Hugo has coarse and unrefined treble - which is different from harsh treble.
Amos: I think you are being disrespectful to the community here with your implying that people here (or the people I know) are mindless zombies who dare not disagree with me.
BournePerfect:
Police States are fun for everyone!
Never heard the Hugo-but no way in heck I'd pay more than $200 based on cheap looks alone. Chintzy.
kothganesh:
Honestly, I think the following:
1. I was learning a lot about the Hugo from both sides, why people like and don't like it. A HF'er wanted to trade his Hugo for my KGSShv.
2. I thought that the conversation was actually ending on a civil note with both sides agreeing to disagree.
I have no vested interest in this DAC/Amp either way since in India you just don't get to audition anything, period. Hence, I spend more time reading rather than listening. Locking a thread out is just not the answer. I have seen worse on HF threads. On a related note, Marv's review of the Gungnir helped me make my decision to buy it instead of the NAD M51 (or the Auralic Vega).
Marvey:
Yes, and I was honest with you about possible shortcomings of the Gungnir too - if I recall correctly.
Hands:
"There are no measurements showing any kind of distortion in the treble that I am aware of."
Explains a lot. Though my favorite was a while back, some other thread, when Jude said he didn't know what some term like "tizzy" meant...not exactly sure if it was that word exactly, but something close. You know, the kind of word you use to describe audio that newcomers and old folks can both understand, let alone the guy running the biggest headphone forum around. Sorta kinda related to this DAC thread and many other situations, I guess...Everything is cool when you're not sure what you're looking for.
