I really dont know where you get this one from. Sorry, you are wrong. measurements have their place and I am not aganst them per se, but IMO all judgements as to the sonic worth of a component should be made by ear.

Fair enough, I shouldnt have raised the issue.

me too. Agree 100%.

wrong again. Where do you get these ideas from? They are so far off the mark that its laughable!

Yes, but not from me, I reckon that am one of the people on the forum who change their kit the least. I can give you a run down of my past equipment history if you really want.

That about sums it up.

The few expensive items I have had on dem at home for a week or so have all ended up going back to the dealer as they were not worth the extra money. an entirely pragmatic approach AFAICT.

Have fun, Robbo
