Thanks

Thanks.

I understand the desire for DBTs but unless you were there and/or the testing was done by an org with serious DBT experience you don't really have any more to go on anyway. It's quite easy to accidentally introduce biases in DBTs and/or have the switching system (human or automated) swamp the differences. (I've had experiences where the cable swaps were consistently making a bad connection on only one of the devices because of the physical positioning of the units under test.)

Anyway I used to use my computer to do DBTs on myself and guests with players, cables, etc. and all I found was that they were grueling, took a lot of time and never got an answer different than a single blind test of my guests or a sighted test.

We aren't talking microscopic differences here. After hearing each system for a little it only takes a measure or so to hear the differences.

I never bother to change anything in my system if I cant tell the difference easily.

Anyway anyone who is interested in potentially spending the kind of money we're talking about can easily afford to arrange to hear the difference's at someones house, or potentially have both for a little. There is no substitute for personal experience.
