Quite true! I just think that, to the extent that there are differences to be perceived, they are more likely to become apparent when listening to a variety of recordings over extended periods. Sometimes judgments are formed based solely on repeated listening to brief musical segments, whether blind or not. Yet, this is not how we ordinarily listen to music. While this is not necessarily invalid when the differences are gross, it seems to me questionable when the differences are of the kind of musical refinement that soundcheck's mods attempt to accomplish.
