Which, brings us right back to the point, having read various audiophile forums and publications for years, that the "real world experience of touch users" you speak of is anecdotal and typically has no control for subjective factors. So sure, these listeners do believe their perceptions, but no one has any idea if that is due to some technical performance aspect of the equipment or whether they are impressed by the appearance, reputation or some other non-audio aspect that influences their opinion. The problem with subjective influences is that what positively influences one person's perception may be a neutral or negative factor for others. Once again, I am fascinated by the consistency with which subjective audiophiles reject the possibility that their perception may have been influenced by subjective factors, refusing to make any control for it whatsoever. It is an irony of the first order. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99073 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
