"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Very sad and so unexpectedly tragic. I also loved the Cranberries. Always brought me back to the freer times of the early and mid 90s...
    I disabled signatures.

    Really sad. I am still a big fan of the group and Dolores' singing genius. Their last released album (acoustic with chamber orchestra accompaniment) is nothing short of amazing.

    RIP

    I still am a fan, but don’t keep up with their later music. I’m going to have to check out their last album now, Mike. It sounds like it would be amazing. Still shocked over this.

    Major part of my life's soundtrack during the mid-90's. Very sad.
