I have to admit I started this thread for a bit of a laugh, knowing that a great many people in these forums share my scepticsm (and even contempt) for anything approaching snake oil. But Guy's observations about the future are really quite worrying, and there is a danger that "people like us" (who like good quality sound systems, at whatever price level we can afford) will get tarred with the loony brush by those not in the know who assume that all "audiophiles" share the same wacky beliefs. -- morris_minor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ morris_minor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42583 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
