ABX is a *listening* test, moron.

DBTs are *listening* tests, and perfectly normal people do hear
perfectly normal things. What they *don't *hear is any differences
among decently designed gear at all prices - because no such
differences exist. 

It takes *really* expensive 'high-end' gear to be so *badly* designed
as to actually produce *adudible* differences! :-)

Why are *you* so afraid to *really* trust your ears when you don't
already *know* what's playing?
