Going off the rails would be as follows (to paraphrase): What's the mental picture of an audiophile in 2012? An aging, paunchy fellow, sitting all by himself, wondering which set of magic cables will expand the "soundstage" of the *close miked and under-processed female vocal quasi-jazz* album by 6 inches. Note: the 6 inches is very important in this scenario. Hint: think "throat". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94485 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
