I think the point is the attitude shown by Slim Devices and Logitech staff. Someone posts saying they reckon XYZ sounds better or worse, the people in power can respond in one of these ways:
- Oh that's interesting. The areas that affect this have not been changed at all by the factor that you propose, and our measurements indicate that there is no change. Could you try this blind? Is anyone else finding anything like this? It does seem unlikely, so we'd appreciate a bit more data. - That can't happen. What is the point of coming out with comments like this that have no basis in my understanding of reality and have not been tested to destruction? Please go away you small person resembling genitalia. It is possible to be open and sceptical, like the first approach, rather than being dismissive like the second. It encourages others to try to test the phenomenon, adding to the dataset, whereas the second approach puts a lot of people off. Whatever people are hearing, they are unlikely to post here without thinking it might be real. Let's have some healthy scepticism and constructive comments - especially from the Slim staff. There is a lot of voodoo and snake oil in hi-fi, but there is also a lot that is unknown or poorly understood.
