I read a comprehensive (almost too comprehensive) description of all possible, and some impossible, audiophile terms. I think it was one of the many document's available in the TacT Audio User Group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/TacTAudioUsersGroup). I'll see if I can locate it again. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
