I agree. But let's establish the categories here: 1. Consumers 2. DIY tweakers 3. Manufacturers I am a consumer. You appear to be somewhere inbetween 1 and 2 (or, maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're just an odd case of 1, someone who is incapable of consuming without prior understanding of how does it work; sort of like a person who is incapable of enjoying the meal without first reading the recipe). Soundcheck (a.k.a. Klaus is clearly 2). I don't know anyone who belongs to 3, and I think theirs (i.e. manufacturers') agendas are completely different. >From my perspective (I'm 1), the only thing I need to establish is whether the changes work for me or not. I'm not saying that this approach works for everyone else (especially not for 2 and 3). This is the same as when I'm ordering a meal -- the only thing I worry about is whether the food will taste good to me or not. Either way, I have no interest in learning HOW was the food prepared. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
