I understand there are cultural niceties one normally follows in casual social settings - you don't tell a new mother that her baby is ugly, even if it is - but that is not the setting in which this discussion is taking place. To reuse the Peter Belt example, it is simply stupid to think that one can publicly announce that frozen photos improve the sound quality of a stereo and, once again, feel -entitled- for that statement to go unchallenged. When you're that far outside of the boundaries of how sound is recorded, played back, travels through air, is received by the ears and processed by the auditory portion of the brain, I think a person should feel a a bit stultified. The burden is on them to make a case that something other than fevered imagination is at work. However, the people who throw out such ideas in audio are rarely satisfied with their pet effect being a product of their own imagination. They seem to desperately want confirmation, acceptance and endorsement of their belief as "science". One doesn't have to read very many audio forums for very long to find a consistent pattern along these lines. So, tolerate? Sure - let do whatever makes them happy in the pursuit of audio enjoyment. They just shouldn't expect confirmation and endorsement as some sort of God-given right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94418 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
