Gfcf424892, Difference between two components is often very complex. Judging it in one session, comparing few recordings is not optimal IMHO. I like to keep new gear at least a week to get general feel. I might like it more for one type of music/recording and less for another. I need overall picture to make decision.
What's your view on blind testing?
Double blind testing (DBT) has been a hot topic among engineers and audiophiles for God knows how long. The 'scientific' group believes that a properly conducted blind test will reveal negligible differences amongst audio components (amps, cables, dacs, etc.) while the other group believes that there are noticeable audible differences across manufacturer's in various price points. I know there are quite a few EEs on the board here and I'd like to get your perspective. Thanks for any insight.
