Thanks for sharing this. I think it is profound and there is an element of truth based on my own limited experience. In the past few nights of straining my ears in intense A/B tests, my observation is that there is a real and significant difference between 840C and SA-7S1. This difference is not subtle. When you close your eyes, you could almost "see" the different pictures that the 2 cd players paint. However, as large as this difference is I could not pick the cd player quickly all the time. I found A/B testing difficult on tracks where the notes swung wildly from end to end. This variation in music itself threw me more than a few times, and often on those tracks I had to listen much longer before identifying source. Also A/B testing requires a good amount of time and effort. I spent hours. Having said that, I do believe (to be seen) that the difference would be easier to detect as it breaks in more and as I upgrade other components. Just my observation/report-back from this episode.
