I agree that there is a very high level of snob-ism and hostility on audio forums, with a selective disregard for "simple minded" objective observations. Occasionally one of the "chosen ones" will break rank and admit to noticing said difference. Pretty rare though. Its not socially acceptable. I would venture to say that those differences are real. Read any reputable audio review and you will read of many observations. For some reason, when a common mortal makes such an observation it is immediately in question. -- earwaxer9 System: modified Winsome Labs Mouse, modified Maggie MMG's, Transporter, HSU sub 12, MSB DAC to 500 watt sub slave amp, JPS labs power cords, Silver audio interconnect, Audioquest Granite speaker cable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ earwaxer9's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39527 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87051 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
