Wouldn't it be embarassing to your side if people couldn't even tell

the "inferiority" of the amp, wouldn't it be a slam dunk? Funny then
how you don't bother investigating...perhaps there's a reason...


Very good point. I would say that anyone would be extremeley hard pressed
to single out the SET amp reliably in a DBT or ABX.


Previous copmparsions of long term A/B testing vs. quick switch ABX testing
showed that added distortion was picked up easily and quickly by the ABX
tests and not at all by the A/B switchers.


Which SETs were tested?
