Some tweaks really _do_ contravert known science (little stones that magically make your room better). Some don't. And I'm not asking you to prove anything to me unless you try to sell me something. :) Again, most sceptics with any engineering background are cognizant of the fact that there are things we can't measure. Hence, the reliance on listening tests. All that many sceptics ask is that the tests be controlled for placebo effect. As far as the "subjectivists" being proven correct in every instance, this is errant nonsense. And pointing to someone who claimed that all amps sound the same and saying, "see, this is a typical sceptic" is simply making a straw man argument. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29972 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
