Opened a 20-year-old box and found my very first portable sources: Optimus CD-3400 and Sony WM-D6C. Still have the HD580s I used with them.

  Some headphones respond really well. The cheap ones can surprise you.

  I started with the expensive ones and they sounded amazing. Cheap ones are next.

A/B testing requires level matching to 0.1 dB because louder sounds better, right? So don't spend money on gear, just crank the volume. Duh.

  I thought all hifi salesmen knew the rule: louder, unless already too loud, always sounds better.
  
  I think it's a reasonable idea that increases in level which are too small for us to perceive as changes in volume may be perceived as changes in quality. I do not know if it has actually been shown.

  Or conversely, people who don't often listen loudly would like gear that doesn't need to be cranked to concert-in-a-can levels to sound halfway nice :)

  During demos, my first action was always to turn the volume down.

Seriously, we need to go back to putting tubes inside enclosures -- or at least in wire cages -- to protect them from us and vice-versa.

  Forces us to listen to music instead of tubes. I like this idea.

  Chassis will be square, and large, and slightly unattractive: https://i.imgur.com/DzC6lkx.jpg
