opaqueice, you seem fairly well versed but this statement is wrong. It most certainly *IS* a transmission line. And of course you can have ringing. I don't know how much this particular mod really helps. But in theory it most certain could help. -- mswlogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34406 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
