True. What I was questioning is whether there is a difference between a headbanger (the one who only enjoys music that is hitting him straight in the chest), and your typical audiophile who seeks more sublime pleasures from the 'silky' highs and 'warm' deeps? We've all seen those cars driving around while pumping insane bass, making the windows in the hood rattle. Are the mofos in those cars audiophiles? -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93485 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
