Yes, it is easy. Hard to know for sure, because there are many ways. The SB2 puts out a fairly high voltage level. It can over drive the input, causing distortion at several levels. If it sounds bad, it is bad. > I don't confess to know much about electronics, or even the hardcore > side of being an audiophile.

Be careful. For most folks, it is all about the music. Most of the wacko audiophiles started out quite sane, they just wanted to make the music sound more real. SqueezeBoxes cause people to listen to more music. I've bought many times more music recently than I did in the ten years before I got my first SqueezeBox. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
