   Why should there even be such a test for anything?

   If it's well maintained, it'll be reliable, unlike computers that are   
   unreliable because of bad design.   
   Sure, lower tech equipment can also be poorly designed but with computers,   
   that's all greatly multiplied.

   If it can pass an A-B test, sure.

   That depends on several factors, which is why listening to it is so   
   critical.

   I'm not impressed with big words and big brand names...all I care about is   
   the sound and Only That is what I pay attention to.
