Totoro, well said, I fully agree with you. I know you were responding to Raj's post even though you quoted mine :-) BTW , I have a friend who is an audio designer and recording engineer who tore open a Bybee and said it's nothing more than a resistor. And I think I saw another post on that somewhere but I don't remember where. Physics profs have read Bybees "quantum mechanic" ad copy and say it's laughable nonsense. We have a few physics profs on this forum, fortunately. It's too bad we have this kind of snake oil in the industry. I'll bow out now too. Sorry to the OP for the hijack. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31964 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
