Hi Jason

Boxed the amps in identical boxes..... I think you over estimate the amount of trouble I was prepared to go to!  Anyway, who's to say that re-boxing the amp wouldn't change it's fundamental character?

Of course you can say, that the system the blind listening test was performed trough wasn't transparent enough, the cables weren't good enough etc. etc.  or it suited one amp more than another, or in this case probably, suited none of them.  But you aren't ever going to get any from this though are you?  How are you going to factor in system synergy into your blind listening tests for instance?

Cheers
