That's an excellent point. Thanks for bringing it up. This gives me (hopefully) an opportunity to revise my statements: in the absence of measurements, people rely on deductive reasoning, more so than on empirical evidence. And that's precisely my beef. For example, we have recently had one member here calling bullshit on Soundcheck's mods because he claims that he is a computer programmer and that, from the standpoint of the source code, there couldn't possibly be any differences. That's what I call deductive reasoning. A person refuses to look into empirical evidence, and is pre-emptivelly taking a stance. Good for him. I, on the other hand, prefer to rely on empirical evidence, as it gets presented to my senses. That's all. And please, don't misconstrue this as me insisting that everyone must follow my lead. All I'm saying is, here's my set of preferences, please respect them, and I will in turn respect your set of preferences.

Like for example, if I listen to two different configurations and I can't hear any differences between the two, while at the same time you present me with measuring results that plainly and convincingly demonstrate huge differences between these two configurations, I will remain completely unimpressed. Why? Because, to me, it means absolutely nothing. If I can't hear it, I'm not buying it, period. And vice versa, of course. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
