WOW. i bought a squeezebox. i was excited about it. i sent it out to be modded because mostly i was curious. i could afford the mod and i didn't spend a whole boatload of money on it. i like it. would it hold up to an a/b comparison? no it probably wouldn't. does that mean i should be miserable and unhappy? nope. i still enjoy my music. i don't think power cords or cables do one damn thing for sound. i bought blue jean cables because they're a little nicer than lamp cord and radio shack interconnects. i am pretty sure they don't sound any better but i'm happy. i dont believe that external power sources sound any better but mine sure looks cool. buying new toys is fun. getting excited and trying things against your better judgment is fun. i dont believe in isolation platforms or feet buy mine look great. i dont believe in arguing against the validity of a/b testing but i also think that sometimes misses the point. i dont believe in copper vs. silver, cryogenics (?) or superiority of tubes.
some people like to argue that all of the above make their gear SOUND better even though they wont actually test it to support their arguments. who cares? be happy. some people like to argue that all of the above are true and that others are idiots for buying them. who cares? it wasnt you that bought it. why stomp on someone else for being happy. ps - when (if) i can afford a transporter, i'm leaving it alone. -- ratso ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ratso's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39684 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
