I reviewed my posts and never found something where I made a statement about anything other than my perceptions, so it's hard to see how I can be factually incorrect. You may believe, fervently even, that no human being can reliably and accurately perceive audio differences on the levels we're likely talking about (but then, you don't even know the levels I'm talking about yet because I haven't said what equipment I have listened to), and to some extent I agree that there's obvious psychological and other reasons why it's difficult to do this. But I am comfortable that I have chosen a system I enjoy based on consistently perceived qualities and don't need to "win" an argument here to be ok with that. In an ideal world I'd jump through hoops and prove that with whatever tests are required (I'd like to test myself actually, if nothing else) but this is just one forum, in one corner of the internet, so if opinions are not welcome here then that's a shame but I don't have time to change that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105507 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
