You're continuing in the same vein as your original post. I don't think anyone has suggested other hobbyists don't make wild statements, but OTOH, audio is the topic at hand in this forum. It seems you suggest only those on the plain wire side of the debate need to keep their mouths shut while it is somehow understandable the fancy wire crowd is entitled to protected status in proclaiming their views. The reality is that if someone feels a strong need to tell the world about their wonderfully expensive wires, that means someone else will probably feel just as strong an urge to call them on their statement. To me, this is just two sides of the same coin. If one party is entitled to speak, so is the other. Or, if one side should keep their yap closed, the same admonition applies to both. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86483 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
