occam - first of all the only snarkiness is coming from you. second, while you may not give a shit about it, this thread is useful information to many of us who like the Slim approach, regardless of whether we're delusional in the minds of the rest of the audiophile community, so it would be greatly appreciated if you did indeed back off the ad hominem commentary and stick to the actual topic at hand. You appear to have something useful to say, but it gets lost - and distracts us from the rest of the threas - when you take an attitude of attacking someons personally. Now, I know you're going to say, "I didn't attack him personally, blah blah, I only attacked what he said." To that I'll say pre-emptively - bullshit, face up to what you said and don't play the passive-aggressive route after-the-fact. /rant off -- joncourage ------------------------------------------------------------------------ joncourage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27452 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
