Translation: "I didn't get the results I wanted to get unless I peeked."
Have you tried other DBT formats, and if so which ones and how?
That's not exactly an answer, but to be honest, I didn't expect one. Real ears-only testing is not relevant to fashion.
Of course the most pleasant one at the first impression... Then you'll give after for the crowd and the champions and you start to be untrue to yerself... There we go again - I'll probably will be kicked out again.
The Gurus are the Gurus - they attribute most to the site! Not neccesarily what you are searching for as an individual - but most gain.
Sorry and Regards
I generally don't listen much, anymore. I DID have to listen to the IC based JC-3 before it was released, AND I had to make some changes, both in IC type and materials used in construction of the case.
Like PMA, I find that virtually all modern IC's sound different, so I HAD to listen, and so I did.
Almost all of my design is based on good topology, EXPERIENCE in what works OK, and care in selecting the parts used. Then I have to get pretty good measurements as well. I leave the LISTENING to others, and UNLESS I make a real mistake, I have been successful with my product designs over the decades.

Hmm - over and out... Who have the biggest craniums?
Good tread - listen more all - others enjoy to create - build the good ideas - skip the idols if they doesn't deliver in a to humans clear way. Social appoinments can be handled somewhere else. As this would dramatically lower the income for this site I will probably be kicked out again... But my idea is the best sound to all diyers to the money yoy are prepared to pay for it. So snakeoil might be s good thing for the site - yeah - give me the experience first - if I like it I might buy it. Bye for now.
Simple as that / Regards

JC's worst assertions have little to do with discrete vs IC.
You would have to be pretty close minded to dismiss all the threads here on chip-pres and chip-amps there are also plenty of commercial ones. There are many happy owners just as there are many happy owners of Quads and Magnepan's and of course toooobes or things with trannies.
Talkshow - turn it into a listening show instead. The ingenity of so many words should be used to describe how to understand the core issue. Right?

Stop forcing in real world logic , the book says .1dB, so 1dB is out for sure
Yeah, books, learning, science, education, nothing beats the healthy understanding of the common man.
I'll try giving it a go today,Cheaper gear ! cheap !!! I paid two crisp English tens for that one
...No fiddling with DBT for this,
- foobar just downright irritates me, the NVH guys went on holidays when this was being developed - and the ABX module degrades the sound just enough to make using it a background annoyance to the procedure.Interesting that the very tools that have great potential to be genuinely useful in this area, are poorly done in enough ways to be aggravating to use - I'm thinking of DiffMaker here, which has to be the worst piece of software I've experienced in many years.
