The reason being that such a high proportion of audio gear has inaudible distortion, and that producing gear with really good measured performance is relatively easy. The common exception is part of just about every system, and its the transducers and the environment that they work in. So, the transducers are always there to produce audible distortion that masks any possibly audible distortion in everything else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105254 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
