Maybe. Or maybe based on what I know of the Transporter and of electrical engineering, I can be quite confident in my position with just the information at hand. Here's an analogy: Suppose I sell bits of string which are 3" in length. Perfect for tying up very small parcels, attaching notes to pigeons' legs, etc. Then someone claims that by simply tying one of my bits of string into a knot, he has increased its length to 4". Now, based on what I know of string and of knots, I can safely say "no way". Is the onus not on the tier of knots to demonstrate that he has in fact increased the length of the string by his method? He could at least show a picture of this magically knotted string so that we can see that at least _something_ of interest has been done to it... The length of a bit of string, like the amount of jitter in a clock signal or the number of bits per sample supported by a digital audio device, are observable things. But not only are they easily tested, they can also be predicted and understood without even having to lay hands on the thing, because we have theory to tell us how this stuff works. However, nobody has seen, heard, or measured this claimed 4" bit of string. Nobody can explain how one might tie a knot in such a way as to make it 4" in length. Perhaps the first few people to buy such a string will never take the time to hold a ruler against it and see how long it really is. They will just be happy to have a longer bit of string because they were told it is longer. That is exactly how these scams work! People are gullible. The snake oil salesmen would be out of business if people took time to test this stuff or learn how it works. > You could even have A-B trials at your next open day, and demonstrate > that the difference is euphonic distortion, and the the TP is better. > > Surely Logitech's budget would run to that? You don't think I have better things to do? the only reason I post in threads like this is because I don't want my customers to be misled. But after a certain point, if someone insists on believing despite all evidence to the contrary, I give up! -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41756 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
