in my orgy of covering things in tin foil I had wrapped about 5 inches round the ethernet cable coming out of the laptop. I was listening to the 24/96 Nirvana Nevermind and noticed that the sound had gone soft compared to the led zep I was listening to earlier. I checked my laptop and somewhere along the line I had removed the tin foil from the ethernet. Put it back on and the softness was gone, looks like that little bit of tin foil is shielding the cable from the laptop wireless, I guess. Just to check I stripped all the tinfoil from the squeezebox as well and there was much more softness to the sound, so added that back on and checked again, the little bit on the ethernet is definately making a difference. Back to full on grunge. I know you rationalists are going to poo poo this, but from my viewpoint it seems to work and this info might be useful to some kindred spirit. -- SBGK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SBGK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52003 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93084 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
