Hey, I resemble that remark! But one of us has misunderstood. Maybe it was you: My 'deductive reasoning' was being applied only to the volume maximising mod. I can understand the argument that superfluous processor load in the touch could conceivably have an impact on some parts of the music reproduction process, but this mod in particular has no possibility of doing that. The amount of computation is the same, the result is the same, but rather than using the computed result the mod uses a hard coded value. Perhaps you, with your years of professional programming experience, would like to point me in the right direction in understanding how that mod can have an effect. Maybe it was me: I had assumed that you'd accepted that this particular mod could not possibly affect the sound waves hitting your eardrums, and we were simply arguing about your right to interpret those sound waves differently. magiccarpetride;605943 Wrote: > Like for example, if I listen to two different configurations and I > can't hear any differences between the two, while at the same time you > present me with measuring results that plainly and convincingly > demonstrate huge differences between these two configurations, I will > remain completely unimpressed.

Now that's a clever attempt to make a valid point, but we all know that in the audiophile world it is never this way around. Anyway, I think this point has been done to death now. Surely the next instalment is Phil's results. Phil - put away your microphone and your room correction software and finish up your post on the tests.
