yes and then the test result will deviate from established scientifical consensus in this matter , there is a body of scientific knowledge of this stuff . It been done and dealt with before. Result the test group proves itself to be filled with fools cheaters and crackpots and make collective a**es of themselfs and that is also a result :D But it think this is really good , one should realy try some of this at home to get perpective another good one is hires vs reedbook of the same stuff . So even if the test tanks a dozen or so of the testers may have benefited and got a good experience out of it . Sometimes hearing ( not seeing ) is believing . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97530 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
