Yes, ssully, the TRUTH IS OUT THERE if you bother to take the time, patience and resources to invest in state of the art which HAS vastly improved in the last few decades....in case YOU haven't noticed.
Your archaic pronouncement that everything sounds the same is old and very much IN THE WAY!
Alas, no technological advance in amplifiers that I'm aware of has rendered controlled comparison methods 'archaic'.
That means that "sighted' comparisons remain scientifically worthless.
Please do not post idiotic lies about my stance. I do not claim that 'everything sounds the same'. No one does.
(Though certain 'audiophiles' do seem to believe that everything sounds *different*.)
