What's your view on blind testing?

Double blind testing (DBT) has been a hot topic among engineers and audiophiles for God knows how long. The 'scientific' group believes that a properly conducted blind test will reveal negligible differences amongst audio components (amps, cables, dacs, etc.) while the other group believes that there are noticeable audible differences across manufacturer's in various price points. I know there are quite a few EEs on the board here and I'd like to get your perspective. Thanks for any insight.

But Geoff, who's keeping score?

I suppose it depends on who the subjects of the DBT are. The aspects of performance you value most will be the ones readily identifiable and hence your main focus.

Marakanetz, I would wager I could fool you into thinking your listening to tubes, but really good ones.
