you try listening to some of the same such gear. They may challenge some of you current assumptions, at least my reading of them (your assumptions), e.g. that differences between components are often very subtle, require exceptional hearing acuity and listening experience to detect, that sort of thing. Oh I suppose there's always the possibility that one is 'tin-eared' but I suspect this is more rare than the occurance of components of similar price/design/features sounding so much alike as to require an 'expert' to detect/describe, in other words, unlikely.
