There is nothing remotely like sandpaper about the GSX.
I belive you,like I said two times before,vast majority of opinions I read from that person,upon my personal testing I almost always found that its untrue ( for my ears),infact its often exact polar opposite so when I read that how much that person dislikes GSX,I thought to myself I must hear it becose remembering how radicaly different our tastes in audio go,it will probably end up being the best amplifier ever made to my ears.
To clarify,I in no way am calling GSX sandpaper like,I just wanted to share funny and interesting experience I had while reading the forums,it teaches that people have vastly different tastes and encourages to take any opinion you read with "grain of salt" and that there is no substitude for forming own opinion from personal real world listening.
And even if there are people who dislike it,so what,many people hate marmite but many also love it,marmite sells well and all its good,no need to please everybody.My thinking is that the amp is so extremly revealing that it exposes imperfections in DAC,the headphone and the music itself and that certain people like to listen in what is equivalent of the saying "looking with rose tinted glasses",they dont necesarily want the ultimate truth,they just want to enjoy the music,I mean the tube people,R2R people,the "warm side of neutral" folk,I found these people hate brutaly honest stuff that doesnt pleasantly color the sound,but I love that kind of sound thats why I believe I would enjoy GSX greatly.
