I have suggested before that the Audiophile section should be more or less DBT-free. DBT is a general debate and to bring it in in every single instance when anyone has any subjective views makes it OT. I don't know what it is with the Internet, but imagine a physical room where people try to discuss their subjective views and one or more people repeatedly say that subjective views are worthless, and the only thing worth anything is DBT. It is a conversation killer if ever there was one -and it has the same effect here. Unfortunately the moderators here don't clamp down on discussion wrecking. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32352 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
