I'm sorta still chewing on the question of why you felt the need to write this chapter.2020, Chapter 3:
Lighted by the Blind
It sorta reflects some nasty-nes. Reads like fun though.

There are times when I think we need a middle path between obectivists or subjectivists…what, call it Sensiblist or Independent or something like that.
There were fairly large differences between tubes in a double-blind comparison. Fairly large, compared to what I expected anyway. We were testing PVC-embalmed tubes that a friend had sent in using Saga Plus. Saga Plus isn’t the best platform for showcasing tube differences, because it’s simply a buffer, and a hybrid one at that. So, a half-solid-state no-gain buffer demonstrating audible differences is pretty amazing. At least to me. When we switched from the first tube to the second, I really expected to hear nothing. But the difference in tonality and stage was readily apparent. Now, this was on speakers, in a group, so maybe it’s group hypnosis, but…who knows.

To make a very long anecdote a bit shorter, I tried again on the most resolving headphones, and this time I was able to call all three amps right.
Could you reveal which headphones these are?
LOL!It's a "night and day" difference
2. There were three stations, one with the HD6XX, one with (I believe) the Hifiman HE400i, and one with the Dan Clark Audio Ether 2s.
