"they were very minor, certainly not so significant that I was encouraged to look at even more costly components."
There you go!
For decades I have been saying that if you have to sit on the edge of your seat and scrunch up your face and you still get a "now I hear it now don't" feeling it simply is not worth pursuing, it simply is not there.
Which brings me to another notion that holds that one tiny difference may have no significance in and of itself but that many such tiny differences could aggregate to a more appreciable difference.
Now one can think about the distinction between "difference" and "improvement" for a mighty long time.
At any rate no component can be evaluated subjectively on its own and only entire systems should be judged as they are just that: "systems".
Bottom line: subjective reviews as we know them are entertainment and not valid evaluations of what we all listen to: a sound reproducing system.
If subjective evaluations were to be of any real use, the variables would have to be taken into consideration and they are not. All you get are rank amateurs on line writing too little and "pros" in magazines writing too much.
It's all willy-nilly, it's all entertainment, it's all low quality information, but it's so much fun!
