So it wasn't funny that the vendor when confronted with a possible bad review decided it wasn't worth the risk? He only wanted someone to rubber stamp their approval not really review the cables. Sorry if his (Dan's)beliefs don't jell with yours but I'm sure even you would want vendors to work differently than this. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81616 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
