Having quite a few of both single malt scotches and skeptical friends, I was once the subject of a blind taste test. My friend picked four scotches from my collection and then tested me to see if I could identify them blind. I was 4/4, which considering she had randomly picked four out of about twenty isn't too bad. In my mind I can't help comparing that to John Atkinson failing to differentiate between - let alone identify - two supposedly very different amplifiers. But I'm afraid I'm going to start another minor war if I go that way :-). -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29025 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
