Not sure why you would get flamed. The fact of the matter is psychoacoustics matter. You hear to exactly the same sound in a room that does not appeal to you, and it'll sound worse to you than if you listen to it in an environment that pleases you. It's not measurable, but it's nevertheless a subjective listening reality. The same can be said about equipment aesthetics etc... Measurable sound improvement? No. But does it sound better to someone somewhere - all the more power to them if it improves their listening experience... I am always very scpetical when people claim something's based on physics. There was a time when they could prove the sun circled the earth with physics. :-) On the other hand, I don't think *everything* needs to be measurable and quantifiable to be valid in an art as esoteric as "high end audio", which is somewhat irrational to start with. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
