Why would you try to play as loud as possible? Wouldn't that artificially generate echo that wouldn't otherwise be there at ordinary listening volume? Wouldn't that skew the results for equalization at listening volume? (Alas, I'm no longer a teenager. Max volume is not ordinary listening anymore :-) ) -- GreenMan My computer -> SB2-> Krell KAV-300i -> pair of Thiel CS2 -> my ears -> my brain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GreenMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1173 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
