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.

Finally, someone is willing to admit that the sonic differences between components is subtle.

If it takes weeks of listening, then why not run blind tests for weeks. Blind listening, whether a test or not, is very good at removing preconceptions and biases.
