I didn't mean to discount his 30 years of experience and the comb
filtering. That part I would tend to believe.  It's the seating
position issue. If anyone claims to be serious about audio, I would
think it a pre-requisite would be that they pay attention to seating
position. and to be able to sit within 4 or even 1 inch of a previous
listening position, Mr. Winer suggests that it is analogous to
aligning atoms. Finding the same seating position within and inch or 2
is not difficult at all.
