I don't see how this phenomenon has anything to do with ABX testing. You describe a situation where you listen to *precisely* the same thing twice and they sound radically different. Fair enough - I have experienced the same thing myself.
If you want to extrapolate from this that it is therefore pointless doing comparisons, then it must hold for *any* kind of comparison, not just ABX. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82600 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
