very interesting when they do these ABX --- tests --- how they never go into the actual enviroment --- of those of us -- who it is very obvious -- that amps do sound -- different -- I.E ---- test -- our ears --- with equipment -- that we know -- which is out own hifi equipment --- then let --- the games -- begin --- and then have the amplifeirs being changed --- funny how this test is never done ---
-- and yes you can hide our equipment so we can't see if it is our own hifi equipment or the (other amplifier)
as a metaphor ---- it its like a person who you know intimately well -----(our own hifi equipment)-----and then you go somewhere --- and you are meeting a person for the first time -- who you have no idea about their character -(persona)-(personality) (ABX TEST)
that is the easiest -- way to explain the hifi -- situation --- test all us supposedly deaf(stupid) -- people in our own environment -- and yes you can make sure we cant see our own equipment -- amplifiers and so on ---
also sorry being blunt as it gets --- why is it that that some of the people who say all amplifiers -- sound the same --- happen to own in the grand scheme of things --- pretty cheap hifi equipment
maybe a bit of envy --- ???---or not
it is all horses for courses -- at the end of the day --- as i have no doubt --- if someone has the hifi equipment further up the ladder from where -- i am-- they proberbly think of what i have as cheap and cheerful --- thats life -- just saying
