RE: But that's exactly what I, and many here, don't understand about your logic.

"Why do you need some kind of confirmation, approval, affirmation etc. from some people who are NOT YOU, doing tests on audio systems that are NOT YOURS?"

-- You're not really paying attention to what I'm questioning. I'm questioning whether or not the people who hear these things that cannot be measured are hearing actual differences or what they expect to hear. Why would I question it in my own system, in my own ears? Not because I'm looking for approval or affirmation, it's because I understand that I am not immune to psychological bias. A few here seem to think they are.

"Too put it differently - what prevents you from starting doing "all of the above" right now?"

-- The fact that what I hear, or don't hear, is consistent with what is generally considered possible and what has been measured independently, even in listening tests.
