Chill, point taken and I do actually understand what the placebo effect is. But I have been seriously into this game for a long time now, including writing reviews for TNT for a couple of years - something that I take very seriously. Not that writing reviews makes me immune to to making mistakes. Due to ill-health, I don't go to work so have far too much time to play around with the hi-fi. Doing a lot of diy work, my hi-fi gets changed around far more than most. I agree, changing something can have a temporary affect of appearing better and then after a longer audition not. I also know that what I hear can depend on the mains supply variation, the weather, and even my health/mood. Some of you may say what has it got to do with hi-fi but I've been meditating regularly for the last 30 years and that does help me to understand how my mind is working. I'm fully prepared to accept that a setting was 'wrong' in Squeezecenter but not that I was suffering from a placebo effect for nearly three weeks. If I was then please ignore all my reviews! In fact ignore just about everything subjective written by anybody! ;-) -- Nuuk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nuuk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4844 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48430 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
