I am all about > price-performance. I will try anything if it is cost-effective. Interesting point of view. I also value price-performance, which is exactly why I prefer to do blind testing as much as is practically possible if only to convince _myself_. Even if you don't go the DBT whole nine yards it is often easy to do a less rigorous, but still revealing, single blind test. Many of the differences I am sure I that I can detect when I know what I am listening to (or tasting, in the case of wines and single malts) either disappear or become a lot more subtle when I don't have the visual/mental cues. On the other hand, in day to day usage the visual/mental cues are still there, and there are many people who are unbothered in taking that into account when evaluating sound quality or price-performance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
