I'm talking squinting and cramming the headphones to my heading and saying " I *think* I hear a difference". From there I picked out the ones I "liked", and finally looked at the key. Turned out I picked all the cheap ones :-) I have a lot better monitors now, it'd be interesting to see if my experience would be different. I suspect not.
As I recall, those were not same performance clips. It's a tiny bit tricky doing a same performance comparison between two devices, doing it for dozens of devices is impractical. Lynn Fuston's project relied on the player/performer to duplicate their performance.
