RE: I think you need to...

>Fact - we ALL know the changes we make are real and positive. So for him to say it's all some blurry fantasy we're trying to convince ourselves of, and being a "reputable company" they can't put stock in tweak-ism is incredibly insulting.

Honestly, I don't think that's what he said. In fact, I think he's expressed himself on the topic before, saying that they can't incorporate things that *only a few people can hear* or something to that effect. That I think was his goal in mentioning the Russian woman. Listening panel tests tend to gloss over small differences, and focus a manufacturers' efforts on large ones. As such, they're a good tool for someone who's selling a product to a mass market. They also filter out imaginary differences, and it seems to me quite likely that he thinks some of the differences here could fall under that rubric. I certainly do. But believing that doesn't mean that he considers all the differences here imaginary or inconsequential, again, any more than I do. They just may not offer the kind of bang for the buck that they're after. Or like your woodworking or Grant's stands, they may not be feasible at the price point for which they're aiming. We know they make this kind of call, like any manufacturer, since Jim Winey said that metal frames would be better than MDF, but that they're too heavy to ship.
