I can only assume that by "compiled" you really mean "cooked" because what I have experienced during my extensive listening tests to various kernels is as follows, listed worst to best sounding: 16) microwaved canned yellow corn kernels 15) stove top heated canned yellow corn kernels 14) microwaved canned white corn kernels 13) stove top heated canned white corn kernels 12) microwaved frozen yellow corn kernels 11) stove top heated frozen yellow corn kernels 10) microwaved frozen white corn kernels 9) stove top heated frozen white corn kernels 8) microwaved fresh yellow corn kernels 7) stove top heated fresh yellow corn kernels 6) microwaved fresh white corn kernels 5) stove top heated fresh white corn kernels 4) grilled without husk yellow corn kernels 3) grilled without husk white corn kernels 2) grilled with husk still on yellow corn kernels and finally, by a night and day margin 1) grilled with husk still on white corn kernels Please understand that these results are not the final say on the is largely unexplored area of audio, however these results should not taken lightly unless by that one means lightly buttered. Lots more research still needs to be done and I welcome any and all input from my fellow audiophiles. So far we can safely conclude that white corn kernels cooked by conventional, i.e. not microwaved, methods appear to sound best. Please feel free to cross post these findings to any audio related site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98298 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
