Evidently, the challengers did NOT measure the differences, which is what Brad said. It was performed as you mentioned under controlled listening conditions.

So, two tests performed twenty two years ago stands for all time as the final answer. :)

No. Scientific knowledge established a decade or two earlier and simply confirmed by the experiment is what stood then, stands now and will continue to stand until an experiment is performed which invalidates it. This is how science works but, of course, you have to make an effort to find out what the scientific knowledge is if it is to be useful to you.

  There have been zero improvements in amplifier technology since the 60s and 70s. Right.

    Solid state technology has improved a fair bit (e.g. your computer) which has lead to improvements like the increased use of integrated circuits and more efficient power amplifier designs.

      Let's hear it for chip amps!

      Overall linearity and complementarity has also improved, but no one gives a shit anymore. They prefer the assorted non-linearities and label them as "more musical" whatever that means.
