Nuuk I'm on the fence on this, so I'm not suggesting you did fall prey to the placebo effect. So this is in the sprit of your 'for the sake of argument' idea. The placebo effect tends to be self-fulfilling. It only takes the merest suggestion that there is a difference, for that difference to work its way into one's brain. Unless it can be killed off to the satisfaction of one's own brain (eg DBT), then it is all too easy to continue to hear the difference, and even for that difference to increase. Sometimes that 'merest suggestion' can be something as simple as the price paid for the new kit! In your case it certainly seems that you weren't looking for a difference, and weren't expecting it. It seems reasonable to hope that it was something like a different setting. -- chill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48430 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
