Wrong! 1) Good cooks don't need to measure 2) Measuring to obtain "DATA" to justify food A tasting different than food B is not the same as measuring for a recipe...LOL The scenario you mention ie different amounts of ingredients is more equal to comparing two dacs with different parts or even a different number of parts. Essentially not apples to apples. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ edwardthern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106575 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
