There's something going on here that
we don't yet understand.
How can I tell? Steve likes it, and has
asked us to evaluate it.
To my mind, that means I play with it, and
find out why it works.
Later....

I'm not at all opposed to the idea that we can hear things that common measurements don't detect. If you perform this listening test in a scientific and objective manner, and you believe the results point to an improvement, by all means let us know. :)

This will take awhile, but I think it should
get some attention. What do you think, TRE?

You learn a lot about yourself when you get a friend to blind test for you. Find someone you are confident in and you'll be surprised how much proud Papa syndrome, vested interest syndrome, and how much you 'perceive' it sounds better but you're wrong. Remove those influences and even some tube rolling is hocus locus (not all) but strip it to remove those bizarre influences that make our beliefs in what we're hearing and you learn a lot more.
I'd did this with Nick Gotham in my house with 212's of about 5 different manufacture all quite differently constructed and with gm70 graphite and also copper.
My mind tricked me that the taller with larger plate versions of v1505 sounded better than the shorter more common 212's. Clear as day all 212's sounded better than graphite gm70 and less clearly but marginally better than copper gm70.
It was at least 20 years ago, before vsac anyway. So I can't remember every detail. But Nick who was blind barely heard any difference but he found graphite gm70 least good. He could not hear the difference between any 212 versions and couldn't tell which was copper gm70.
I, knowing what we were hearing heard great differences!
People come in and listen often.
Some are experienced audiophiles of all sorts,
some are business people, some
are local Rancher's kids-- budding cowboys, etc.
All have different opinions, but one thing
they all agree on: when something sounds more
real-- it is more real!
Young budding cowboys are superior in listening.
They have two advantages: (1) vastly superior
health and hearing abilities. (2) Very few
preconceived notions....

when youre wife says 'thought someone was actually playing our piano' is a good moment.
Women have a higher frequency spectrum than
most men-- excluding young cowboys-- whom are
awesome.
It is interesting to note the artistic talent
that the best musicians and recordists can apply
to a record, a CD, a tape or a hi-res music
service.
Despite all those arrangements, circuits,
losses involved in record making, etc., the artists
that are really good, always get it through to
the listener.
No matter what they had to use!
