Whilst I'm no supporter of MQA, "standards" are the basis of pretty much everything that makes life practical.

Yeah, I don't think MQA was a "standard" along the lines of what an Ethernet cable needs to have in order to be "an Ethernet cable" or other examples of true standards.

MQA was just the next iteration of "if you want to play in Meridian's garden, pay us money and implement this." I think Naim, Linn and most famously Apple has these kinds of "standards." Microsoft, too, although they were/are so big everyone considered their garbage requirements "standards" although they weren't.

MQA was not a standard in the important sense that you are referencing, it was a money making scheme.

As a former THX employee I can assure you that has never happened before.

We have news here.
@theeclone will take over from here and be the master of our little fundraising.
Thank you, Kevin, for doing this.
I never thought this trough with this mechanics, but people here shined earlier in helping me out.
I am suitably humbled by the reactions here. Special people you are.

Hey All,

Fundraising page is up. Let's do this!

Please make sure to keep any info you have about Pietro or his team private for their safety. Apologies if the fundraiser is a bit short on details but these are the constraints we're dealing with.

@Jason Stoddard hope this is ok. Tried to keep the campaign as nonpolitical as possible given the circumstances.

I tested it for you, looks like it works...

It's the least we can do. You're doing the most you can do!

I had a Vali 2++, great little amp. I bet your 2+ sounds fantastic with the WE396A in it.

The Vali 2++ is amazing with the NOS GE 5670 5-star red.

I just swapped out my GE JAN 5670W for the GE 5670 5 Star and feel that it's an improvement.

Well done! Contributions are coming in ... you rock, @theeclone.
The Go Fund Me is so much easier than the projects I ran in the past via Private Message on Head-Fi. It even keeps track of the donations. Nice.

Don't forget the raisers you headed yourself Richard.
Kevin is the next raiser.
It should be marked in your headers instead of Headphonus whatever.

We're already well past the quarter mark! Amazingly an anonymous donor gave $500.

Yeah, I just sent the link to about 50 people on my email list. Can't hurt ... they've been generous in the past efforts.

Well done. But, I don't have friends, or email lists, that's why I hang out here...!
