Bud, Tom's Hardware didn't perform a double blind test in the strictest sense. But they did test four different hardware configurations ranging in price from more than $2,000 to less than $2.00. The article is available +++ HERE +++


Thanks for the link which I will soon read. I once read a study that in summary indicated that volunteer auidiophiles were unable to discriminate at statistical significance between a mid line Yamaha amp and an extremely high dollar and well reviewed unit.
