You sound like you have a killer system but you had noise in the silent parts? I have to turn my average system up to the max to hear even the slightest noise and even then I'm not sure. A power cord (no fancy names here) made a difference? Over the ambient noise in your room? Did you have your ear pressed against the speaker? I'm just curious. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62241 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
