And where do you get this from? Test equipment that can measure the change

Les, thats a really good point...

Let me add,
it is widely accepted that about 1dB is the smallest increment
in sound changes that a human can hear with a test tone, certainly NOT MUSIC!!

And most folks might also agree that to hear THD it needs to get up about
TEN PERCENT (more or less depending on frequency) and again way more
than this with most music....

Test gear can easily measure one 100th of a Decebel, as well as 1000th of
one percent of THD very accuratly....

How can he argue against this?
Maybe he has never used any test equipment....???
