You sir, do not know my wife. (grin) She could quite easily make the buffalo on a nickel squeal for mercy... Actually, we set up the tests so that they were blind, in fact as well as in principal, and I have high confidence in them. Moreover, this is the crux of the matter - it honestly doesn't matter what I think about your system or beliefs, or what you think about mine. I am -not- out to convince you of anything at all. I am quite happy to spend $50 on a USB cable I believe to the best of my admittedly small ability, makes my system sound better and increases my enjoyment. > As noted, Cordelia Fine's book is a great read and very enlightening. > And it doesn't contain a single example based on audio.

Just my opinion though, YMMV. -- paul.raulerson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paul.raulerson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50346 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93549 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
