We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

You’re only out to prove that you are not missing something that others can hear. Why should we who do hear it, want to prove to you, that there is something you can not hear?  Double blind tests is not the way.  Live with something for a while and get used to what you hear.  Then, switch to the other and see what differences you can detect.  If you are listening with speakers that muddle the sound?   Who could hear what is needed in the first place?

Is everyone's hearing ability equal?  

No, I think George is trying to say the emperor has no clothes.

Hearing, like everything that can be measured, has variation. Some can hear better than others; young hear better than old.

The owner of Harbeth Speakers has an interesting challenge that he has offered for years. If you can tell the difference between his amp and your amp (non clipping) while auditioning his speakers, you can have them for free ($15K). This should be a no-brainer for many people on this site. A great trip to the UK essentially paid for by Harbeth. (I recommended the music festival in Edinburgh in August. If you golf, Royal Dornoch is fabulous.) You know how many speakers he has given away? None. You know how many people have taken him up on his challenge? None.

I think its a mischaracterization to say jealousy drives some of the naysayer comments. Personally, I know that other people can hear better than I can - no problem. Likewise, I have no problem with people of means buying whatever they like. What is troubling is the misrepresentation of the benefits of these dubious products.

+1 Sorry must of misunderstood your post.
I was worried that you were going to be the very first here of the technically experienced, that got swayed to the "snake oil" side.

Cheers George
