Phil, I wasn't aiming my post at you. My point was simply that I would prefer to argue about subjects that can be objectively measured, or at least, ways to develop or improve objective measurements. Debating whether one guy's "sweet high-end" is better than another guys' "defined mid-range" (to me, anyway) is pointless. Who gives a flying fig? Now, what would be interesting to me is to come up with some *objective* measurements that could demonstrate these types of differences. I know - it's the holy grail of audiophilia, and to my knowledge hasn't been achieved, and maybe never will, simply due to the complex neural and behavioral (psychoacoustic) components involved. However, it would please me greatly, immensely, if we were somehow discussing these technical aspects. I think we'd all learn a bit more - if people were willing to *listen* - yes, to the music - but also to each other. I also think some of the folks here could probably be getting a PhD with all the time spent arguing these matters on forums. And yes, I already have a PhD in something entirely different, so I'm afraid it's not going to be me that takes up this monumental task. :) -- ezkcdude There are 10 kind of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't.
