Well, I don't disagree entirely, but the fact is we have laws in the States which forbid false advertising, even when the products involved are not dangerous to people's health. Manufacturers of things like anti-ageing cream that make particularly outrageous claims get put out of business by the FTC. rajacat Wrote: > > BTW have you had any of your gear modded or are you just speculating > and don't have any real world experience to back your claims? I'm not sure what claims you're referring to. I have a custom built amplifier from Odyssey Audio which is heavily "modded" in the sense that it differs significantly from the base model. Apart from that my audio system consists of an SB3 (I prefer the analogue outs to any DAC I've tried so far) and speakers. I toyed with the idea of having the SB3 modded, but $500 is far to much to spend on an experiment which could easily degrade the sound - I'd much rather spend it on music. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28080 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
