It's no harder to convince yourself that 2 >components sound exactly the same in DBT than it is to convince yourself >that they sound different in sighted testing. Sure it is, you idiot. If there *is* a difference, then you'll hear it. If there isn't, then you won't. This cretinous argument of yours remains the same brain-dead strawman it always was. Compare and contrast with the 'false sighted' test, where the audience is told that A is a cheap SS amp, and B is a 'designer label' tube amp. Several pieces are played with changeover switches being thrown to indicate tube or SS, and the audience duly notes the liquid treble and added inner detail of the tube amp. Of course, the switch isn't actually connected....................... -- Stewart Pinkerton | Music is Art - Audio is Engineering
