Isn't that fishy?
I'm not sure that the fact that no one has thought this sounded bad is fishy. One can imagine lots of possible effects which would sound good to almost everyone - like making the volume slightly higher, for example. On the other hand there's pretty much zero evidence that this is a real effect, as (IMHO) the sort of anecdotal evidence we've seen here so far is totally useless, and there has been no plausible explanation advanced for why muting the volume would change anything. Add to that the fact that the "believers" seem to be unwilling or unable to perform a proper test, and we're left with zero. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26332 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
