[QUOTE="croak, post: 21578, member: 361"] One can not do a half decent evaluation with one instrument. You may not know what a voice sounds like exactly, but the same goes for any hand made instrument from natural materials. Just like all sopranos are sopranos yet sound different, so will different violins/guitars/pianos even if made by the same guy with wood from the same forest, they may be like singing sisters, similar, but different. I do however agree that listening to individual solo instruments can tell one a lot. At the same time the way a system handles more complex busy material is a huge factor hard to evaluate with solo instruments. Even if that solo insttrument is a piano driven by Cecil Taylor. To all the Keith Jarrett fans, go see our local boy Paul Hanmer live if you can one day. [/QUOTE]
