I think it's more the way it's called out. It was obviously based on misunderstandings which were corrected pretty smartly but in a way that was less than charitable. > Changes in the analogue domain may obviously alter the sound, but I much > prefer claims that are based on some kind of objective analysis and > lacking that at least a subjective judgement that stays moderately > plausible.

And I don't think anyone other than the outright scammers called out at the beginning of *this* thread would ever claim anything more than extremely subtle differences from cable changes. Ignoring the question of "value for money" of course. Unfortunately your average hifi nut/audiophile would not have access to the necessary test equipment to gather proofs.. so what are the options? The sceptics, like all of us, are quick to talk down things but rarely offer suggestions as to how to do it instead. (At least I've not seen much of that here.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105775 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
