It's not a question of imagining it - that's very naive. When people's medical conditions improve when they take a sugar pill they believe to be an effective medicine, they are not "imagining it" - they have actually, measurably, improved. If you brought people into your shop where they were surrounded with high-end and expensive gear, told them what they were listening to, added some details about what you had done to improve the SB+, how expensive and effective the new parts were, etc. etc., then of course they would hear a difference. It would take an unusually strong-minded person to say, or even think, otherwise. Try it, just once, blind - it will take you five minutes. Just connect an SB and an SB+ to a Benchmark DAC and turn your back while someone randomly switches from one to the other, and see if you can identify the difference. It would be very interesting if you can - it would prove Benchmark's marketing claims false, among other things. If you are so confident there's a difference, you have nothing to lose. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29450 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
