Mike means by DBTs 'interfering with subtle details', is that the
results don't match his sighted expectations.

Basically, all of physics, neurophysiology, electrical engineering,
and controlled listening tests tells us that 'wire is wire', but this
*must* be wrong, because Mike likes expensive cables. Hmmm......

Sorry but *physics, neurophysiologygy and EE* don't tell us that, you do. And
without any proof to back it up.


Sorry, they do - look it up.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary *proof*, Mike, not mere
handwaving..................

Yes, and that goes for your claims as well. I have never heard two different
amplifiers that sound the same - your claim that they do is pretty
extraordinary.


Actually no, your claim that they do *not* is extraordinary - look it
up.

Your only *evidence* is DBTs used in a flawed way that obscures
the audible differences. Yet you are unable to provide any verification the
the test actually *works* in the way you are advocating it. Extraordinary
claims...


Nice try, but all of existing science says that you are wrong. If you
doubt this, write an article to the AES suggesting otherwise, and see
if it even passes first review.............................
