Until you've done a blind test with this stuff, anything else is speculation on your part. Here's an example of just such a test, but this one is about amplifiers: tom-morrow-land.com/tests/ampchall | |

| Sep 17, 2014 at 12:31 | comment | added | Almo♦ | Since this is an argument I don't want to have again, I'll just say this. I've done blinded tests with both an expensive stereo, and expensive headphones. The baseline test showed the subject could hear the difference if they knew which was which. As soon as the blinders go on, there is zero ability to discern the difference. So if you haven't done a blinded test, it's all in your head. :) | |
