Actually some engineers design their audio equipment to produce great specs on paper and they don't even bother to listen to their designs because the figures tell them what they believe to be "correct."
Certain people at Audio Note find this highly "amusing" especially considering those engineers have produced equipment that looks good on paper but just sound wrong. Audio Note produce some of the most highly respected (for the sound) equipment today, they are unusual in this regard that they specifically make a point of touting their "design by listening" philosophy. -- mashley ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mashley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36549 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93542 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
