I actually think we are pretty far from "there", even if money is no object. Transducers aren't good enough. ok, if "money no object" inludes the end user's listening environment i suppose we can get pretty close. But to manage it in a typical home setting, i don't think so. Remember that being done means being unable to distinguish hifi-fiction from reality -not just going "ohh, it sounds just like real!" (Which I'm sure we all think every now and then.) -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28080 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
