Very few posts of yours lately.
I've said it many times before that measurements and high end audio work two ways: 1) measurements are given as proof that A must sound better than B. For example A has measurable (but still not audible) jitter and B has even less (lower) jitter. Or A is a standard resolution file (24 bit and 44.1kHz) and B is a high resolution file (24bit and 96kHz) 2) measurements cannot show why A sounds so good. This argument is ALWAYS used for ALL tube equipment and ALL vinyl playback equipment. Remember when money is involved, and money is always the primary driver in all things high end audio, hypocrisy has no bounds.
