I don't share your insecurity. In the case I mentioned, my reviewer friend asked me my thoughts after hearing the two for about fifteen minutes with a very nice Philip Glass piano recording. I made three specific observations. He agreed that he heard the same distinctions with comparative listening over a period about a month.

You know, I'll bet you are just a bundle of joy to listen to music with. For that matter, do you actually listen to music?

E: Say, Mtry isn't it neat the way Michael Hedges can hit a clean harmonic anytime on his guitar. Did 'ya just hear that last quiet one?

M: You didn't hear that. No one has proven it with unbiased testing yet. Your hearing is too unreliable for you to hear such details.

E: Here, let's cue the track backwards and listen again. Here it is again. What do you think?

M: Think of me as a ditchdigger. What I think is unimportant. You are just deluding yourself to think that you are hearing anything.
