Short bus for you too?

If the alleged A-B difference disappears when brand names are hidden, and SPL's are matched, then it was only a fig newton of an overactive audiophile imagination, or a small A-B SPL difference mistaken for something else.

Hiding the brand names has no effect on the sound.

SPL matching can only help a comparison unless you think an SPL difference is worth something!

Imagined differences are not real.

They don't go away during blind tests and come back later in sighted auditions, except for A-B SPL differences.

Imagined differences were never there in the first place!

In blind comparisons of a component with itself, audiophiles will typically claim to hear differences 50% to 75% of the time.

Those are all imagined differences.

Imagined differences are apparently part of human nature.

That's why blind SPL-matched A-B comparisons can be so useful.
