I see the issue with ABX blind testing
OP    There is no way my brain is retaining what I previously heard and then comparing it to what I currently hear. I agree. So, I record the sound each time I change any cable or equipment. Can you post any live-record video? This is my video...

OP -- What has surprised me most, is that lack of difference in overall sound that I have noticed. Is it my ears? You need a clean sounding reference system to hear the sound difference. All audio systems in the world sounds dirty and distorted...

Digital with same soundstage as analog
OP I have a modest setup, but the analog sounds good to me. Question, can I get the same soundstage with digital by adding a DAC or Streamer? I have a modded Oppo BDP-95 (no external dac) and I think it is the world class in soundstage and soun...
