SE - I wasn't criticising anything you were saying - honestly! Merely asking a question and pointing out something that many people (not necessarily you) seem to forget about "imaging") I find the sound without the Altmann gear more is less relaxing to listen to (less satisfying) over long periods - say 2-3 hours. I do not know if this is a placebo effect/self-delusion. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37014 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
