This is where it gets tricky! It is unreasonable to demand that manufacturers can prove (substantiate) subjective claims. Just like no-one can really say why a Porsche is better than an MX-5 (if we pretend they have the same 0-60 times and top speed for the sake of the argument). I much prefer subjective marketing BS to fantasy technical explanations with no connection to reality. There is a huge industry of people telling others what, mostly subjectively, is "the best"! When it comes to hi-fi my pet theory (a "truth" for me) is that measured performance is so unreliable because measurement is seldom done in a real context. If you can actually extract the "on paper performance" from a component you should get good sound, but I believe many components fail to deliver when put in real systems. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31533 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
