Yes they cryo lab won't do at -190 dB quantum level noise is present even at zero kelvin. This is getting more and more fun :) if they where right you won't even need to play any music to hear this difference . Jut the ambient noise would change drastically . They obviously have not done this simple test . while sitting in your normal listening position in your normal listening environment and having the hifi at the usual playback level . Just play some test tones at decreasing level -60 dB and downwards and I suspect at around -80 dB give or take a few dB you won't hear anything more unless you get closer to the speaker or increase the level far beyond normal listening levels . I can hear a -112dB test tone faintly buried in the noise if I press the ears against the speaker drivers and have the volume at max.... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
