Surely as an audiophile I've been attacked on a regular basis. I find myself getting ugly in defense. But having measurable proof, as sceptics require is not the end all be all. Sometimes you can have a measurable difference but no real perceptible audible difference and vise versa. At the end of the day it's all subjective. Those who know, know that everything and anything can and does make a difference.... Key word difference, not necessarily better. For me this hobby is fun, therefore trying everything just adds to the fun. Yes even voodoo magic of necessary. If rather meet change with an open mind than scepticism. And surely it's obvious the sceptics bully people on the audio forums more than anyone. They hang up and drive people away. I've seen it a million times and so have you if you're honest enough to admit it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ edwardthern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105775 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
