The biggest problem is the SNR (signal-noise ratio). It is really easy to do wisecracking and post the 50th variation on the same old joke and get a number of your buddies to chime in with their own variations. Soon you have 10 postings like that for every one serious posting. How is anyone going to take the time to read through all this to extract any useful information? On top of that, when all the wisecracking has a theme that says that audiophiles are idiots (more or less), how friendly will that feel for anyone coming here with their questions? It is also somewhat bizarre that some of the most frequent posters here have displayed next to no interest at all in sound quality, as far as I've been able to tell. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29967 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
