Well then, isn't it reckless, nay, foolish, to judge a piece of gear
without doing a DBT/ABX on it?

Not when the differences are as gross as they are with a WAVAC as
anyone
can
see from the Stereophile measurements. Plenty of audible distortion.
$300,000.00 for an amp that can't produce more than 2 watts of output
power
before 1% THD.

For that much distortion a simple A/B test would be sufficient.

Which you haven't even done. So you haven't even done the minimum.


Because there's no need. If you can't tell that the WAVAC is a piece of
**** from the review measurements, then you have no business discussing
it.

So, you've now conclusively PROVED that there's no need for double
blind testing. Thank you very much!

I win.

How many times have I and others said that when differences are gross, a
DBT is unnecessary?


That's what I say, too!
The differences between some ss cd players are gross.

Lack of data to support your position noted.
