An audiophile dilemma

'YEah Rok2id, we are actually all just pretending to be able to hear any differences'

AHA!! just as I have always suspected!

And don't trash YORX, I plan to upgrade to a YORX system one day, once the kids are outta college.

A lot of blind testing was done with a strange system, and in a strange environment

So? Are you saying you need familiar surroundings to be able to tell the difference between a $129 dollar receiver and a $20,000 'high-end' amp?

Interesting 'blind test'. I like to watch those Hell's Kitchen reality shows. (even though i hate cooking)
In them, the cooks are at times blindfolded, then have to identify which food they taste.
Curious, many cannot do well. But a few, who Chef Ramsey says have great tasting, can always identify a food blindfolded.
I would say audio is the same way. many have a problem really being able to just hear, (blindfolded in a sense) but the fact is, some folks CAN tell.

And IMO, it is the folks incapable of being able to tell, who try to say no one can.
thank you.

Well hush my mouth.

I wasn't aware that anyone compared a $129 dollar receiver to a $20,000 amp.

Enjoy your Yorx!
