One thing that's interesting to do in those kinds of situations is to do the initial test, then adjust the levels to "equalize it" (that is, turn up the one you thought was worse by a titch), then listen some more. It's surprising how often the one that you think is better ends up losing that title if you just titch up the volume on the other one. -- mkozlows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mkozlows's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19850 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
