"But it sounds better!" The standard audiophile response whenever they are presented with clear scientific facts regarding the latest, greatest and very expensive after market upgrade. See also high priced USB and Cat 5 cables. Still to come: air purification systems which will claim to improve the signal transmission of one's home wi-fi system resulting in much better sound and sharper video for all streaming devices. And of course the first ever truly high end router complete with gold plated connections and a fully regulated linear power supply, all for a mere $2,500 excluding Cat 5 cables. Hey Phil perhaps we can become partners in the first "audiophile air" company! -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82648 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
