I take all NG advice with a grain of salt, regardless of who its from.
We all hear things differntly. What might be inaudible to one, may be
audible to some one else. Gotta keep that in mind, because audio
equipment evaluation is such a subjective thing.

But Garrett, keep in mind that certain things are accepted as scientific
fact.
You cant hear the difference between .05% THD and .1% THD or a damping
factor
of 100 vs 200. Things like that are not subjective.

It's funny how similarly humans are built like that. But then again, those
of us in the psychophysics biz know that. Unfortunately, there are lots of
people who think they're experts because they crawl underneath cars for a
living.
