I don't doubt him. I do doubt, though, that it was a fair test. In our testing (smb, jj, bem, llf, rfg, karn, ark), we found that two players sounded different until we accurately matched the levels and synchronized the programs. The apparent differences then vanished. If your dealer did not prove to you that he had used accurate test equipment to match levels, the test is suspect.
