@rgro. You brought up some good points.
I do also see quite some coloration in Phils expressed conclusions and opinions. I am not in the position to question the tool he has been using to run the tests. Though I'm questioning the method he is running the tests. Of course to read Phils latest comment "The irony is that ADM struggles somewhat with mechanical replay systems (CD, Vinyl, Tape) because they don't produce exactly the same output each time - whereas, it works very well with hard disk playback!" makes me wonder what this tool is capable of. Anyhow, compared to Phils earlier statements and position though, I do see a decent development into a more neutral direction. >From an engineering perspective his tests are irrelevant. He is comparing apples and pears. That he knows. He could have even PMd me for supporting and discussing his efforts - offline - first. He didn't. That's what I do e.g. with John Svensson once in a while. However. I do not intend do dissect Phils method the way he is dissecting my toolbox. One thing I'd still like to mention though: What sense does it make to run the mods with highest impact last? I do understand that this would be the way how you'd install them. Everybody understands that, if you're going to dissect all - no actually not all, just a few - of my mods - respectively cumulative mods in general - you'd apply highest impact mods first. If you have a towel and a carpet in front of your speakers -- it doesn't make sense to remove the towel first. When it comes to magiccarpetride. I 100% support him. He is one of the very few ones over here having the guts to support me and my efforts. To conclude: Phils test at least show for the analog output that something is happening. I never claimed anything else. I also always said the impact will differ from system to system, from person to person. It's all relative.
