Yup, that's true in the absolute sense and I agree that if one's preamp/amp is capable, definitely go for the balanced interconnects. However, practically, and at normal listening levels, it's unlikely that that level of "blackness" is noticeable :-). -- Archimago ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92086 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
