"Yes, it doesn't seem that you made an actual side-by-side comparison."So, you're drawing your conclusions based upon what seems. Never mind that if I said I hear the difference when putting roller bearings under the CD player, I've by definition (note the word "difference") said that I've heard the player without the bearings.
"I don't know whether you actually heard anything different or not."Ah, now we have something about which we're in complete agreement: you don't know what I heard. But this doesn't appear to stop you from making pronouncements about what can and cannot be without first investigating for yourself.
"Listening non-blind to something at one time and listening some other time is not a reliable way to make a comparison...So from this are we to conclude all the musicians that prefer say one brand of piano over another are just imagining any differences? Without a blind comparison are the differences heard by these trained and experienced musical ears not "proven" to exist?
Perhaps I'm misinterpreting and you're saying it isn't a reliable way for you, something with which there can be no debate (unless one were to ask you for "proof" of this).
If you are lucky, regardless of the conclusions you reach, one day you'll have 1% of Enid Lumley's curiosity and willingness to listen.To my mind, you've painted yourself into a logical corner. Do you have any numbers or blind test results that in fact prove you exist? Have you made any direct comparisons of your existence with your non-existence? Or are we to simply take your word and experience of self for this?
