RE: A few Listening Sessions-follow up report

One important thing to keep in mind here and one thing I suffer from is lack of auditory memory. In my "experimentation" I've tried to change as little as possible, then "A/B" just that change a few times in succession to hopefully be able to fully "process" any differences.

When we were initially listening between the Bottlehead and the Cello (Cello was up first), it took twp "rounds" of switching before the differences became clear - and "unmisteakable" (to me anyway). And I totally agree that auditioning a whole (tuned???) front end is the way to go - HOWEVER if there are overall differences then you have to be able to dig deeper to differentiate where they are being introduced (head / cabling / preamplification electronics?)
