Phil, As usual: 1) You didn't fail to disappoint 2) Provided a good reason why so many audiophiles have their stuck someplace where the sun doesn't shine. However, one important thing that you failed to mention is how many of audiophiles are being led astray by the reviews in the audiophile magazines. What I mean is, for example, the stunning review of the new $45,000 Vandersteen Model 7 speakers in the latest TAS. Why would one possibly need DRC when Richard Vandersteen, along with all his expensive measuring tools, comes to your house to set up the speakers and makes quite sure that set up is as close to perfect as humanly possible. While I'm not in position to purchase a pair of speakers costing $5,000, let alone $45,000, if a I was thinking of purchasing the Model 7s I won't do so unless Mr. Vandersteen promised to afford me the same level of personal attention. Just one of my many pet peeves with the high end audio press. Oh I almost forgot: "Sticking bits of foam or Helmholz resonators around won't fix it" but many a well place rock or exotic piece of wood will do the trick! -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82040 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
