Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: I agree...

Certainly food for thought, and having read your post I believe I have a better understanding of what Ted Smith was getting at (below), at least I sense some similarity only the way you put it was much easier for me to comprehend; he's a lawyer I believe so perhaps the fact that his post at least reads like English is a huge accomplishment! LOL

Anyway, getting back to the topic, please see my response to Ted re: fast switching. Now as to the question of first instincts, over analysing, stressing out, etc. etc., yes I agree those are all real problems. If dealing with such things in a test setting, where a decision is generally mandatory (so as to minimally not waste a trial if nothing else) the process can quickly turn from fun to mental anguish and waste of time.

At home however one can just say "F' this, I had enough" scrap the session and give the old ticker a break, perhaps have another go the following day... of course such testing likely isn't blind, just you and the gear typically, but that's not a big issue with me.

Anyway I love the way my system sounds and I'm firmly convinced it has benefited from more than a few pain in the arse comparison sessions. On the other hand I must admit I'm a bit of a nut who generally enjoys comparing, I like to challenge myself... the fact that some think that, in lieu of certain conditions/methodologies/whatever, that I really just involved in an intricate processs of fooling myself means little to me ultimately.
