As you point out, (to papraphrase) "Bob's PS makes a tremendous difference, then if one doesn't hear the difference while test driving" one might suspect his/her (hard earned) equipment, then the cycle begins. Gotta get a better source, DAC, preamp, amp, speakers, cables, pucks, isolators, outlet, conditioner...etc. I got sucked into an overpriced PS ((Although I do hear (perceive) a positive difference)), I believe I could have achieved the same effect at a substantially lower cost. Lesson learned. Jump the gun and you will get what you paid for ... maybe less . -- haunyack RWA SB3 > Bryston BP20 > B&K r200.2 > Vandersteen 3A Signature ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haunyack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9721 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33547 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
