Cool. Are the links somewhere on that page? I'd like to see the excuses! I would bet many of them refer to the setup, which looks very tight.
I took part in a blind (not double blind) test a few years back. Myself and a bunch of audio geeks here in Seattle... We were fiddling with cables, gear, etc. Nothing organized or anything. Well, most of the group got snowed on the first trial. Our test administrator at the time simply shut off the gear, fiddled around like he changed something, then turned it all back on and played the same track again. My notes read, "didn't hear much difference." I was so happy when he later told us he changed nothing between trial one and two. hahaha....
The Power of suggestion, eh?
Still...a home audio combination of a tube preamp and ss amplifier, to me, is a fantastic combination...
