I've never claimed that WAV sounds better than FLAC (that's not the case as far as my ears are concerned), nor did I claim that ethernet sounds better than wi-fi. Where did you get that idea from? ralphpnj;684472 Wrote: > You do not seem to be alone when it comes to these kinds of beliefs > since most audiophiles have been programmed to believe in certain kinds > of improvements brought about by certain kinds of actions, e.g. more > expensive cable means better sound (to a degree).

I am not disputing that. But most of the ridicule I get is in cases when I report something like replacing my Nordost power cable with Shunyata power cable resulted in better sounding system. How's that digital? People think that I should be arrested for spending $99.00 on a power cable? How's that their business in the first place? It is diatribes like those that made me believe that we're dealing with a bunch of bitter, sour, sorry individuals who, through a series of unfortunate events in life, fell behind their peers, are therefore still forced to live in their parents' basement, and are upset and angry whenever they read that someone had successfully managed to tweak their system to sound better. Petty, really. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92918 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
