Great, balanced coverage for a non-specialized podcast btw. Specially with the x-ray vision-vs.-golden-ear-hearing analogy. In your face audiophools! Did they mention x-rays? Yes, and in their own way, in a manner that turns any audiophool's claims totally unfounded and child-like.Edit II: but andy o , I couldn't, for the life of me, hear where exactly they mentioned this very thread! I didn't say that, sorry for the confusion. I said the topic of this thread, which is N. Young's player and the attention it's getting. No you didn't, actually. My bad for having such high expectations and therefore reading too much. Although, I thought it might be a good idea to email them resources available on this board, like the Meyer/Moran thread where they actually showed up. Did they? Under which usernames? Now that tells me why their claims (though as AliceWonder's mentioned, sometimes equivocated but usually corrected straight away by another member) are always voiced with warnings that they are not audio engineers or the like.Unfortunately she's wrong about several things, she mixes up sample rate and audio frequency, for example. - one of the guys tactfully corrected it. That teaches me that trying to listen for a specific HA mention (that never was) in a podcast, whilst writing two posts and transferring songs from my PC to my DAP at the same time, was way beyond my lame multitasking skills!
