• General, this article seems to already satisfy or very nearly satisfy the GAC. I noticed a couple of very minor things. It is certainly broad in it's scope and fairly well referenced (is "audiogon" a reliable source?); perhaps, as with the NAD 3020 article, more could be dug up to supersede some of the iffy sources. One quirk is the line that includes " attract the emotional involvement of the listener," this very idea is a bit controversial and it probably should not be included without an immediate footnote to a source that uses this wording, or better as an actual quote.

  • I've tweaked the language. I'd just like to say that this is not a claim. And bearing in mind that this is a statement of what the designer set out to achieve (rather than someone's perception of how it turned out), I reckon it could be acceptable, suitably cited. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 11:06, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

• • • You basically just repeated what I said should be done without actually doing it. That sentence should have its own footnote to a source that uses that language or be done as a quote, of course also with a citation. B137 (talk) 21:32, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

• Okay, one last thing is it really appropriate to copy the entire specifications word for word from that single source?; which is a seller by the way. Also, which version fits those specs? B137 (talk) 19:20, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

• Henley Designs is the official UK distributor for Roksan, which makes the specs "official". I've made it less of a carbon copy, and I don't see how it can be made any less. It's a bullet list and not prose and I don't think the copying can be helped. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 04:24, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
