An amazing phenomenon has just hit me.  I was complaining yesterday about an
expensive pair of Stax headphones, well I've fallen in love with them!  I
can't believe it!  I had made some pretty rash judgments about the Stax
after listening to them for a couple of minutes.  Last night I managed to
fix my Superex phones and decided to perform an A/B comparison.  Wow!  Was
I amazed at the difference that I heard, in Stax favor!

Just goes to show you.  I was used to salisbury steak and when filet mignon
came along, it tasted so different that I assumed it was inferior.

Of course, listening to music reproduction is very subjective, at least it is
after gross aberrations are removed (distortion, etc.).

I think I have learned something important here.  I will not, for instance, 
frown upon anything new that comes along simply because it sounds different
from what I'm used to.
