+1. People always believe what they want to believe, no matter what tests say. If the tests contradict what they believe, then the tests must be wrong, not them. And before anyone goes jumping on me, this applies to both sides. Whenever I see the old "it's a night and day" difference thing I'm tempted to ask if they would try the test with a non-audiophile friend or co-worker. I suspect they would refuse. But if it's night and day, anyone can hear it, right? The homeless guy off the street could, yes? Otherwise the difference isn't as dramatic as previously imagined. Whatever rocks your boat. If you want to spend $X on Y and it sounds better to you, go for it. Just don't tell me to spend $X on Y, I'll decide whether Y is better than my present Z for the extra money. And since everyone has different ears/speakers/rooms/preconceived notions, their conclusions wouldn't necessarily be valid for me anyway. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
