Certainly I'd case enough to get the cheaper one (am always cost-conscious!). I'll admit that I've cut down a lot on my use of tweaks in the last few years...pretty much anything that is expensive that I'd need an A/B comparison to notice, I don't use anymore, and even some cheap items I've stopped using because they don't look nice or they are inconvenient in my setup. But I strongly believe in clean AC power, vibration control, and that cables/cords make a difference (not necessarily that more expensive = better)...and have participated in single-blind tests that convince me that I'm really hearing what I think I'm hearing. -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
