I think it's just that some people have never learned how to critically listen to music. RUSH recently released a box set called Sector 1. One of the remastered albums, Fly By Night, was found to contain numerous dropouts in the left or right channels. There was a listener on a forum who swore up and down that his copy was perfect even though a fixed remaster has not been issued yet. When he was asked to listen critically with headphones and given the exact time positions, he finally admitted the errors were present. Some listeners are naturals for detecting change others will never have a clue. Ignorance is bliss. But hey it's all good if everyone is satisfied. The unsatisfied usually have large mountains of unused gear and light wallets. -- Stilly77 WHS 2011 server with LMS 7.7.1 > ASUS RT-N16 router (Tomato) AP > ASUS RT-N12 wireless bridge (DD-WRT) > 15ft Cat 6 unshielded > SBT (TT3.0 with sgbk mod) > 3ft glass optical interconnect > Emotiva XDA-1 DAC > XLR to rca interconnect > Little Dot Mk III (all Russian tubes) > Beyerdynamic DT-990 600 ohm headphones ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stilly77's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43680 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
