Geoff, I make my living designing and building audio equipment. I don't need a blind test to tell me what differences are. In fact, the differences that I hear are only evaluated over a period of time listening to the equipment with different parts used. A quick A-B would not bring out much. However, I welcome the idea that I have been overzealous. If I could really prove to myself that I could use just about any good 1% resistor, then I have thousands of resistors, previously unused, available to me and I don't have to source my favorites in future. Perhaps some of you, out there, would like to purchase some of the caps and resistors of my large collection that I don't prefer to use with my audio designs. Great prices are possible! ;-)
