I wonder if this is a 'macho' response. As in "...no I don't do it, but not because it is too techie (my wife can), but it is in fact a bit 'girlie' and I prefer a real man's back to basics approach..." The implications being: - 1. Computer music is for lightweights (inadequancy complex). 2. Girls can't handle the real thing (stone age sexism). 3. You are a girlie for doing it (I'm a real man). 4. I must be superior to you, so my choice of music reproduction must be superior. (Mine is bigger than yours, if you've got one..) Ok, a wild extrapolation, but I've met the type at bike meets, hi-fi meets, in the pub etc. Paul -- BigEars ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BigEars's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6154 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61715 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
