I only read this on sci.physics and I've removed it from the newsgroups, so I (hopefully) won't have to read zillions more messages of audiophile nonsense... bmaraldo@watdcsu.waterloo.edu (Commander Brett Maraldo) writes: > And how about the crystal structure?

(I mean, in a laboratory not owned by a company selling such things or a magazine accepting ads for such things.) Or is this another "I can HEAR the difference" argument? "It isn't going to sci.physics because there isn't any science in it..." Dale
