But whats the point :) i don’t get their mindset . Archimagos initial question was can *YOU* -HEAR- the difference .Point is to get a real experience , either you hear it or you don’t you might learn something or not . Now many audiophiles try this for the first time themselves and maybe get something from it . Personally I dont care if the stats come out slightly skewed (if they are very skewed its not good ) if many audiophiles gets this hands on experience that’s the real win , many have never tried their assumptions against a blind test before. They migth have tried with CD vs DVDA/SACD or other configurations where many factors other than the format inject differences and skews the comparison . The question is *not* can you somehow figure out whats whats with any means possible ? what have you achieved if you somehow beat the test with technotrickery , then you have not actually done the test . this pinkfish forum are there many in the trade around who might have a vested interest in "proving" things one way or another ? (I don’t expect people that sells 1000$ power cords to people with spouses and kids to have very high moral standards . So they likely cheat if they can) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
