But what you SAID was:

"Many of you will know about the ABX system for doing audio
comparisons. No doubt it is a very fine piece of design but out of
reach for the average person. Some years ago I felt that a much
simpler device would at least allow me to do comparisons on power
amplifiers while the music played in a similar way to ABX."

You praise ABX but find it too expensive to set up.

** Nothing like what I said at all !!

Most folk have heard of ABX, so I mentioned it as a reference WITHOUT
commenting on how or how well it works.


Some people might not understand that calling it a "fine piece of
design" meant you didn't like it :-)

In fact, if you cut the veiled (and not-veiled) sarcasm and other
flowery language out of the whole article, it would be a great
improvement. The sad thing is, you're probably right. But you come
across as a sad amateur with an obsession.
