how do you use SAM since you did the SAM-Test?
I bet you know what my vote was .
gui
The 'Gui' SAM test was interesting and I would recommend it to anyone interested in hearing for themselves exactly what SAM on or off does with respect to the finest details. However, since getting the Pro, I can confirm that I am keeping SAM on all the time. I did do a bit of experimenting since getting the Pro, and what I find is that the benefit I get from keeping SAM on significantly exceeds the loss of detail (which I found to be relatively small) that results from SAM on. Of course all of this is system dependant and I think to a large degree is a case of personal preferences, priorities and music choices. Or to put it another way, having done the 'Gui' test I can imagine a situation where I am listening to a particular type of music and I might flick SAM off to gain a small benefit in micro details. However, for almost everything I ever listen to it would be SAM on. I guess that is one splendid feature of SAM, it's optional and can be turned on or off at the flick of the remote.
