dbuckley Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Pity they aren't testing Dante audio networking too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichM Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 We all know what the result will be. And we also know what the reaction from the audiophile crowd will be :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seano Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Speaking of audiophiles, has anyone seen these billboards advertising Sony phones? They're not really selling me that phone. http://lotus.se-mc.com/image/www-static.se-mc.com/blogs.dir/0/files/2015/03/36602-sony-campaigncreation-phase2-landing-3-28-cdd1d015df2ca903fdf45d59f36747ea.jpg?wid=162 "I can hear things you can't" Nah, don't think so, you smug delusional nobhead.

gibbothegreat Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I've told the tale on here before, but it seems apposite to this story to repeat it, passed on by John Taylor of d&b: over a period of years, he and the team at Nailsworth were approached/bothered by a gentleman suggesting that he could improve their already excellent product with his revolutionary speaker cable. Needless to say, this was repeatedly declined with varying degrees of politeness/laughter/cynicism. Well, things must have been quiet at some point, because they decided to give it a go: and, in John's words, there was much scraping of jaws off floors when they heard the results, which did indeed show a clear improvement...

Andrew C Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 We've also heard the Audiophools regaling us with "How much better the uncompressed analogue signal on R3 is SO much better than DAB". And how does that signal get from studio to TX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalljoshua Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It's obviously over exaggerated... I just got 5/5 on a pair of terrible ex-classroom speakers! Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
