[QUOTE="joetama, post: 2304720, member: 564641"] Honestly if I hear another person "QUOTE" or mention an ABX test I am going to drive to their house and put a soldering iron in both of their ears. Then I’m going to break their fingers so that they can’t type this CRAP anymore.... It's seriously the lamest excuse anyone has ever come up with why something isn't better than something else. Hearing is subjective get over it!!! I know I know you are going to say they are designed to find if two things actually do sound worlds different, well I leave it at that. But, think about the exact terms of what the test is testing and what we are actually buying, listening to, and watching. If I go to the store and listen to something with special cables, power condition, different CD Players, different Amps, TUBES, NO TUBES, and I like something and I buy it, its because it had something that caught my eye or ear rather. What I am trying to say is you can spout off all the technical jargon you want all day everyday, but it comes down to what people like, ABX or NO ABX. If you live in a world where you believe that everything has to be and pass an ABX test to go into your system well then I am happy for you, but I don’t want your system. I’m happy with my own which probably wouldn’t pass your ABX testing on several levels. However, I would almost guaranty you with 100% certainty that most people could tell the difference between something like a REAL B3 with a Leslie and a synthesized one. Oh and DSP “effect” boxes sound like balls.... [/QUOTE]
