Pissed and with a chip on his shoulder? That's about the clearest case of the pot calling the kettle black I've ever seen. Aczel simply points out some rather obvious facts, although in a not very polite way I'll grant you. That certainly shouldn't stop anyone from buying what they want, anymore than noting that a Casio keeps more accurate time than a Rolex will stop anyone from buying an expensive watch. But I've never seen a Rolex ad try to claim otherwise - mostly it's just nice looking models wearing watches. What makes audio a bit nastier is that the manufacturers of some of these products actually try to claim they improve the sound quality. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36907 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
