All good discussion!
While I would agree that maybe it is not the most effective way to judge on the whole the difference between components, quick a/b'ing can clearly demonstrate differences in frequency extension at both extremes, imaging, and tonality. Also agreed that more thorough conclusions can be drawn by living with a component for several weeks and then switching components in a non A/B manner.
Is there a good pink noise generating test disc out there to help with this?
