You are in a privileged position of being able to use the 'giant killer' T-amps, which are best driven off a standalone battery. I can't, because I'm in a need of tremendous power and current in order to feed my hungry beasts -- Maggies. 'Scientists' on this forum pretend as if there are no electromagnetic nor radio frequency interferences in our environs (so much for their scientific prowess), and so they are at a loss as to why would a better cable or a prudent filtering of this noise make any difference. Bottom line, who cares, and we can't even say it's their loss because such people never listen with their ears, they are only capable of 'listening' with their intellects. They're like those stupid people who seem incapable of enjoying a meal in a restaurant unless they first read some lame blurb on the menu describing the ingredients and how the tomatoes are imported from sunny Toscany etc. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93084 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
