Hey, I'll do whatever, if it means that with each upgrade I get to realize how much I've lost. I love this losing game -- here I am, basking in the glorious sound of my system, convinced that things cannot possibly sound any better (I often go to the local high-end hi fi store and audition various insanely expensive systems with my specially made CD, only to conclude that there's very little for me to lust for). Then, one day, a friend pops over, and brings some component with him. We plug it in, for shits and giggles, and then I suddenly realize how much cruft was actually there in my system. I suddenly hear a big loss -- the glare, the grain, the hiss, the rumble that was there all the time (only I wasn't able to detect it) is now nowhere to be found. Flip back to the old configuration, and sure enough -- the noise is back! (this is how I've switched from Cardas to Nordost). The effect is similar to switching from watching a movie on DVD to watching the same movie on blu ray. Keeps the economy going... -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86483 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
