Yeah, I guess I need someone like you to protect me from my own folly. I think you are taking the modding cottage industry a little too seriously. 99.999% of the low through high fidelity public don't even know there is a small cottage industry devoted to modifying relatively esoteric audio equipment. Thanks for the advice but I read The Jungle many years ago in high school and it is much more relevant to public health than if you choose to have your Squeezebox tweaked. Yes, I wouldn't want to live in a completely Darwinian winner-take-all capitalistic society because it would rapidly evolve into an inefficient and brutal economic dictatorship and freedom would disappear. BTW have you had any of your gear modded or are you just speculating and don't have any real world experience to back your claims? -- rajacat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rajacat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4156 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28080 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
