Where I disagree with you is in your tacit assumption that anyone who gets subjected to a listening test is automatically in the position of defending their own pet theory (such as that power cables can make a difference, or not, or that digital transports can make a difference, or not, and so on). That's rarely the case. Many listening tests have been conducted with test subjects who have no personal agendas, nor do they care one way or the other. They're just humouring the testing crew, or are looking to earn a quick buck. I would have no objection against listening tests if after the test I could pee in a cup, and then they send that cup to the lab, and the next day test results clearly show whether I was able to hear the differences or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94418 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
