That has been done many times. Hi-fi mags have to find something to criticize because some of their readers will find something to criticize. If the magazines reviewers are so insensitive as to miss some weakness, who can the discerning reader trust? willyhoops;195846 Wrote: > > of course this assume the volume is turned to 100% (god only know why > we have a volume control in a transporter / sb3 anyway. it's as silly > as putting one on a cd player) The volume control is there to allow the output level of the transporter/SB3 to be matched to other components feeding the same system. It also allows direct connection between the unit and a power amp without requiring a preamp/volume control for systems where budget is an issue and/or where the listener wants to keep the system simple (many feel that sounds best).
