I propose that the clips should either follow Ivor's 10 sec rule or Linns tune dem rule of no more than 30 secs.

........ and not running for too long. 48 hours max?


First clips coming up from me will be cheap interconnect versus my preferred blacks. This test can also be done by many here on the forum so we can hear it through different systems.

And you have to declare no conflict of interest. You are not from Glasgow or in connection with a dealer. ;)

Excellent idea Beck.
What I will suggest (if I can) in connection Clips ... to be strictly followed Tune Method rules ...
If possible TM doc to be attached / pined here ... so everyone can download it, print it, learn it, practicing it and so on ...
And also as Mr. Lejonklou mention here to have new version of TM .....
More members can participate in ...

Is it a good idea to say what you are comparing before the blind listening,hardly blind is it?

It's still blind if you don't know which is which.

Must admit I'd rather know exactly what I'm hearing or no idea at all. My mind can work against me otherwise as I try to second guess which is which, or pick up on other cues such as how I expect one clip to sound compared to the other.
