I can tell you why, that 50-75% of the time he/she liked that part of the song/selection better.

Even the same components are not going to sound the same all the time. Have you even noticed that your equipment sounds better after it's warmed up for 30 minutes. And even better after the sun goes down and better still if you are up at 3 am.

I have noticed small changes in the sound of equipment as it plays. Plus there are parts of songs/selections when everything just jells.

So yes I can believe that anyone could say equipment that is the same sounds different depending on what part of a song/selection they are listening too. That is just another reason that fast A/B/X doesn't work. The only way is to listen to one complete song/selection with one component and then one with the other and back and forth but only complete song/selections so that the part of the music you are in is removed from the equation.

You said: "The audiophile myth works both ways: Have an audiophile compare a component with itself, and 50% to 75% of the time he will say he prefers one over the other -- implying he hears differences when none are possible."
As explained the music is now the variable unless one is playing an endless loop.

Music is love,
Mono is not music to my ears.
Give me stereo or give me silence!
