Ehh.. I think most of those remembering the 70s would agree that there were very clear dividing lines, and that the mesurement brigade have been proven wrong on most accounts. A typical sceptic in those day would say that all amps that measured the same (with the crude technology available at the time) sounded the same -and they certainly wouldn't call themselves "sceptics". Instead they called "the listening people" all sorts of deregatory things. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29972 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
