Phase shift? I believe we are talking about phase REVERSAL now. Not time shift (same as phase shift). Anyway, MANY people claim to hear vast improvements when phase linearity is established (I have never had that pleasure myself). Perhaps the believe in "Dr"-authority is just a little bit exagerated? (The electronics "Dr"s at my university never ever produced a fantastic power amp, even though they clamimed to know exactly how...) -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22118 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
