[QUOTE=RGA]Ahh you want it both ways.

You want the test when it backs up your belief that things don't sound the same - you believe all cd players cables and ss amps sound the same and because people fail a test (which is arguable in the first place for many reasons starting with statistical innacuracy and sheer hoplesslessness of the people conducting the tests) and then when the tests indicate that people prefer Tube amps in general - including some of the most prestigious Recording engineers, and electronics engineers designing the best SS stuff - well you want to chuck out the DBT and say = well it's just preference and you should not do a DBT. /QUOTE]

Your very good at not listening and putting words in others people's mouthes aren't you.
I never said nor did I imply "well it's just preference and you should not do a DBT" Stop pulling things out of your arse and try to understand what teh person is saying without going on the defensive.

I just said it was interesting how the test data changed when the test subjetcs were allowed to see. There wasn't alot of statistic funny math going on in that test. You yourself that alll SS amps sounded generic with weak bass blah blah blah. I also believe that all cables sound the same based on physics, theory of signal propogation through cables etc. What people perceive as real differences with cables is just the placebo effect.

Your arrogance knows no bounds RGA. Floyd Toole's pioneering work is the basis for speaker designers and his work has influenced the audio industry, not just one company.
