a more apt comparison would be to take one glass of wine, and serve it with two different foods, say, cheese and chocolate. it's the same glass of wine- does the food it is served with change the taste, or how the taste is perceived? is the change (if it exists, and if it can be quantified) the same from diner to diner? if the wine, the glass, the cheese, and the chocolate are all constants, how can you account for any differences in taste? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98630 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
