Yeah but your are not the TYPICAL end listener who does not listen with "enginears" In that regard Yamaha can fool the average listener easily. I know I play them in the store and the everyday people are amazed at the sounds and swear they sound like the real thing.

Pilots can tell the slight differences in flying the same model plane as well.

Its all about the end listener not some studio engineer who has heard thousands of sounds and makes microscopic changes to mixes believing the end user will hear the adjustment An end user who is actually listening to music in high Signal to noise environments, on Mp3s and generally background.

The last person I would ask about a CD I recorded is a studio engineer. They find fault with each other's work!! The average Joan or Joe is the final word.
