This was supposed to be private, guys - but since you’ve made your results public, I think it should be said that audiophilia is about the ability to listen through the noise, big or small - nuance isn’t just about the skill to hear differences of quality between excellent recordings, it is also about being able to subtly tell quality between reproductions that are not good. It is about listening for quality differences between good and bad, not merely between a version of your high-end, and what one consider a lesser version of low-end.
Use your headphones if you must, but I f you’re not up for this little test, all well and fine, but please don’t resort to bullying just because an actual test for listening ability will put you on the line. Unless, of course, only your subjective version of listening ability specially applies, and only to you.
