Re: " I listen to determine if I like it better than what it would be replacing."

True, it can't sound better unless it sounds different, and I would agree with you fully if the process were as follows: First, I'll determine whether the new one sounds different than the old one, and if it does, I then will decide which one I prefer. But that's not the process.

First, I want to know whether I like listening to the new component. Do I like its sound using my favorite recordings. However, initial impressions may change. Does it grow on me or fade after a few days. After returning to listening to the old piece, do I miss the new one?

I may find I like both, one better on some recordings, the other on others.
