Well when someone ABXs that kind of thing we'll change our mind just like we'll change out mind when someone drags in a bigfoot carcass or a dead nessie washes up on shore.
In controlled circumstances people never notice the difference between good "consumer" CD players and expensive "audiophile" ones, class AB "pro sound" amps and "audiophile" class A amps, or notice an extra A/D and D/A process inserted into the signal chain. Considering all that, I find the idea that two opamps which measure to within a few dB of each other on standard nosie and THD tests in a given circuit are audibly different pretty implausible.
Its not impossible, but I don't really think that anyone should give such claims any more consideration that if you had reported bigfoot or something. Its nothing against you or anyone else here. I wouldn't even't accept anyone's personal testimony on that sort of thing without some more evidence to back it up. Hell, even if I thought I saw bigfoot there's not any good reason for me to believe it actually happened. It might get me curious, I might mount an expedition and ask others who already believe or are curious to help me, but I wouldn't go around telling other people that I know bigfoot exists or that I saw it. The most I'd say is that I think I saw it.
Beautiful. And you thought Nessy and Bigfoot didn't exist either. Good thing I swapped that opamp so we could unify the paranormal and known verses. Any other personal commentary you'd like to make based on your empirical certitude of the universe?
I was unaware this wasn't an impressions thread. Excuse me.
