The only way to prove that two components sound different is by conducting a double blind ABX test. The whole point of ABX testing is to prove that differences exist.

Personally, I don't believe that anyone else can hear things that I can't hear and I also don’t believe that anyone else can hear the difference between a digital copy and an LP made with an Alesis ML-9600 connected to Pass Labs electronics. Therefore, if you wish to prove to me or anyone else that you can hear a difference when others can't, a valid ABX test is absolutely necessary.

If you can identify two different components repeatedly during a double blind ABX test, no one can possibly doubt your ability to hear the difference. This is why I'm rather surprised that no one has published an ABX test showing once and for all that digital cannot even copy a lowly phonograph record accurately.

Good luck,
John Elison
