If you don't expect a tweak to make a change, you're not very likely to apply the tweak. Since you didn't apply the tweak in the first place, the change you didn't hear didn't exist either, so you'll most likely be correct in concluding that there is no significant change. And in such a case, I can't see that there's anything to study. Or ... is it? "The study of what's not there" ... hm, there should be a name for that. Oh right, 'there is' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theology). And as it happens, the human species has produced tons of books on the subject. So if you're interested, all you need to do is go to the nearest library and knock yourself out. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94770 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
