The same was true 100 years ago when the same
"test" was used with Edison cylinders. By your implicit
logic, does this mean that Edison cylinders were as
as good as AR speakers and turntables?
If you agree that they do, indeed, sound quite different,
then one possible suggestion is that the test is flawed
as being to insensitive.
