Ever hear of a phantom switch experience?
I'm sure that you've heard about the one that Nousaine
orchestrated at a SMWTMS meeting.
In it, the listener is led to believe there are two
devices
or settings, A and B. He describes sonic difference
between them.
But in fact, A and B are the very same device or setting.
Nousaine contrived to get the host's I think it was
Krell-based system replaced with a small Pioneer receiver.
You would claim that no, really, they *were* different,
because
the listener *heard* them as different.
The proudly host showed-off his *Krell* system.
It's this very same "effect" that makes me recommend that someone do
the same thing to YOU guys. I have little doubt that those of you who
claim the inferiority of SETs and tube amps in general would be
similarly fooled.
