Here's my last comment on this thing... I've tried turning on and off this tweak numerous times, both for myself and for others. Admittedly, it was not a blind test for myself :-), but it was blind for a couple of the people (not double-blind, obviously!).
Every person I tried this with has heard a difference, but not with every piece of music I've tried it with. The most consistent (100%) was playing a quiet piece of music...in this case, with Willie Nelson's "Georgia" from the Stardust album, where the opening few seconds were very obvious when the change took place. On most other music that was tried, differences were either not heard or "not sure, but I think so"...music played included Ben Harper's "Gold to Me", some orchestral/symphonic work from Reference Recordings, and some classic rock. And for what it's worth, not everybody found the change on "Georgia" to be a positive one. Is this "placebo"? Dunno, but I'm pretty convinced its not. It's certainly not an earthshattering change, and not one of those things I'd go out of my way to recommend that people do...not doing it doesn't take away my enjoyment of the music. But it does IMHO make a change... -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26436 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
