It may seem like Matt Newport's talking up his audio referencing skillz, but he's just trying to share some advice culled from years of working with every kind of audio gear imaginable. He bought this RE204 to help target and eliminate distortion and other problem "specs" from audio equipment, but over the years, he's learned to trust his ears.

Just remember: it ain't braggin' if you can back it up. Looks like Matt Newport adheres to the teachings of Kid Rock; as should we all.
