Bass is a tad more rounded and yes this can vary, but in general is accurate."I’m not disagreeing with this statement - but I do h... | |

| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? @danip5 - you are clearly far more knowledgeable in this area than myself, so if I could impose on you one last time, for some points of clarification...If I understand your posts correctly - "Ethernet" detects errors, but it does not request a re... |
