An opinion has NO quantification or qualification, that is exactly what makes it an opinion. Fact could be qualified and quantified. To me his opinion is no different than the opinion that the 990 sounds better than the 950, the 7700 sounds better than the 7100 or the 770. I have read very few facts on most forums, just opinions and babble, take what you want and leave the rest. Outrageous ones like the clocks just make me giggle more and reaffirm that most things here are just opinions……both mine and yours.
