And that would be the case for me in ANY similar situation (audio-related or not) as I've got no skin in with either Arny nor the Uptone folks. If you wanted to encourage me to harm myself, you could make the ultimate sacrifice and agree with me in public. ;-) And, for now, opinion is all that Arny has as, in this case, he has neither proved nor disproved ANYTHING. The lie here is that I intended to prove or disprove anything about The Uptone products. I've repeated only called for rational testing and evaluation of the product, which true to form its advocates have apparently avoided to this day. He is, in fact and in this case, no different than the device and organization he's trying to disparage. Thanks rgro for showing your true colors by personally attacking me based on false claims. You've done more to hurt your own personal credibility than I could ever do, as if I even wanted to. In fact I'd love to see you to start acting rationally and limit yourself to discussing the true facts of the matter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103746 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
