. Who is fighting? I didn't see any fighting in my post and as you said, just actual Facts! My post was educating the obvious uneducated. An END needs to be brought to the never ending reviving of the Linear Power Supply Myth (especially when the unit getting said $300 Linear PS has internal switching supplies after the external PS)! Yes power supplies are important, but only the uneducated idiot buys a $300 Power Supply for a Touch that only retailed for $299! Next is the silly premise that "it sounds better" with an out of spec PS, IE the "beholder" has magical calibrated ears but in reality actual has imagined everything to validate their actual lack of knowledge. Just exactly how does one go about attempting to "educate" somebody that can't apply knowledge and science because they depend on their perceived imagination? And of course, ones ears can easily discern certain things like the differences between listening to music from a 3 inch full range taped to a cardboard box versus a pair of home-brew three way speakers with poor cross-overs versus a pair of Vandersteen Model 7 speakers all being feed by Ayre Acoustics electronics! But when comparing ANY power supply against another with the Squeezebox Touch, no matter how great one's ears are, the only one that is going to actually sound different will be a defective power supply! There will be no increase or decrease in sound stage, no higher clearer highs, no deeper extended bass, IE no change whatsoever between in spec power supplies with the required minimum audio filtering! So how does one "educate" these individuals, I'm all ears (pun intended)! *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82648 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
