IF they were, why aren't companies/review mags publishing such results? I value imaging, depth of soundstage, etc. very much. If I could be assured that component 'A' gives 30% more soundstage depth than 'B' at a comparable price (or whatever premium I am willing to pay) that knowledge would be of great value when making purchasing decisions. -- Rick58 Bits: Azur 840C; Squiggles: Thorens TD-145; Pre-Heater: McIntosh C220; Heater: Bottlehead Paramount 300B; Wavemakers: Triangle Titus, NHT Sub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick58's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42940 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85681 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
