As a psychiatrist, I heartily agree with your comment on suggestibility, whether conscious or subconscious, as a major factor in listening tests. Because I'm thrifty, I think that 's what led me to conclude there was little difference between the $3000 B&K receiver and the $1000 Marantz - ha!
But then, if all receivers are the same, wouldn't we all have bought ours for $200 at Best Buy or Wally World?
Hmm ... newbie confused ...
So, just to stir things up a bit more, which is the biggest factor in how my Rush CD will sound: the disc player, the receiver/amp, or the speakers?
