For anyone who feels these kind of examples tell you something... Do a search for how variables affect separate performances with these type of tests. There is absolutely nothing to be gained from a preamp test, unless variables are eliminated. Otherwise, the differences you hear are actually the variables and not the actual differences between one piece and the next. Anyway, do a search this has been discussed several times here.

I really do wish there was an easy way for people to hear the differences beween popular preamps, and compressors, etc. But, unfortunately with tests like this you end up with a bunch of misinformed people who "think" they know what something sounds like... Which IMO is the worst possible scenario.
