Yep...will second this. Although I must admit that I like some writers I cannot recall that any of them had torn down a reviewed device in pieces. Hmmm....and the answer should be clear because he might review another one from the same company in the future and will get paid again. Or because the company has ads on his web page ;-) And you´re second point is one which amazes me every time again. Don´t get it if people buy powercords for 12500 (see http://www.audiophile-musik.de/equipment.php). But hey....at least you have a cord with a cable jacket made in Japan, hand weaved and silky. THAT makes the real difference :-) Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marflao's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57334 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101386
