Its not a bad design given its target audience. It was a consumer, mass market interconnect, aimed at the same folks who have never listened to anything other than heavily compressed MP3s over the ear buds included in your PMP. It delivers on that requirement. It was never seen as an audiophile or "pro-audio" connection. While I don't think its acceptable for critical systems, I disagree that its worthy of hatred. Its perfect for 2 inch diameter "full range" speaker systems. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
