Mike, thanks for saying what you really think - nothing I will criticise in approach to that post. I know it is hardly something that I could write a paper about - but the only way of doing a blind test would be to get someone else to keep adding and removing them. There's no-one else in the house who would want that responsibility, or to whom I would entrust it. What I mean with that is that my education and background mean that my capacity for self delusion is pretty well-controlled (although I am sure someone who was self-deluding might hold that self-delusion too!)
Nothing has fallen out of my mind, other than what I last went upstairs for.
I accept that what I describe seems an unusual step - I guess I'd hoped for a response further removed from 'that doesn't seem right to me, so it must be rubbish' than I've had overall. But thinking about it, this is how it has always been. I am or have been a member of lots of forums - cars, RS, meteorites, hell there's even one for remote controls. In my experience, none are as prickly (at least in some quarters) as those that deal with hifi, and none have as many users who are so dismissive of things of which they have no first hand experience. It's a pity, as it rather takes the fun out of it.
