How much is the new Cambridge DacMagic?

al7478:

And there's no reason people should be interested in teh test kit? No. Course there isnt. How utterly stupid that anyone should think otherwise.

Its not like any of the staff agree either is it? i mean, what with all the stuff posted about the testing rooms and how, er...everything sounds different with different stufff...

I was merely responding to PJP's suggestion that we should borrow a particular piece of equipment he wanted to see reviewed, and his comments that he thought we'd probabaly do a rubbish job of testing it.

So what's the point in even doing the test he wants if he's going to be dissatisfied with the result?

Not my interpretation of what he said at all, and a pretty bizarre one imo.

You're entitled to your interpretation, however wilfully confrontational it may be.

We're not an academic journal, with acres of footnotes and methodology - we are a mass-market magazine, and it has already been expianed elsewhere how the DACs were tested.

I don't recall saying that or implying it. Why would I think you'd do a rubbish job?

Not sure I said that either, did I? I thought it was more a request (which I've voiced before) for supplementary information to support/add context to a review.

Sorry if I stated things in a way which has caused misinterpretation/offence.

PJPro:

insufficient information will be provided about the kit used to test
the DAC....I have to say that I find this a shortcoming generally with
the reviews in the magazine.
