Hi Tony,
I like your comments on this board and clearly your experience in the audio/electronics world.
However, on this point I disagree. Give all the audiophile nonsense I've seen over the years and all the thousands I've spent on this hobby, I have never been able to prove to myself most of what's been claimed. I still think that ABX'ing keeps me honest and emotionally detached from the hardware.
For manufacturers there's always something better to sell, and ideas to monetize (IMO, that's what USB cables are all about). Great for them, but I do want my money's worth. This doesn't mean I ABX everything of course, but when it stretches the realms of credibility, I gotta prove it to myself first.
