I agree - but I guess that is why we in general design equipment so that the measurable things are an order of magnitude better than what is deemed audible - the exception being loudspeakers and vinyl gear, where that is impossible or absurdly expensive. It is easy to make an amp that has 0.01% distortion, a bandwidth of 100 kHz, and a SNR of 90 dB, but rather hard to do that with a speaker or vinyl rig. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Julf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98249 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
