Jason, I do like your second paragraph, excellent prose! It really has a flow to it. Just like to add, that I don't consider myself as an objectivist (I'm not very clever with technical stuff) and that I do hear differences between some equipment, but as these differences are-* in my head*-, I don't both much with telling folk about them. (I had to look up Ohm speakers) :D atb Ronnie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103683 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
