Untrained listeners are able to discern small differences in audio performance in quick AB blind testing better than trained listeners are in uncontrolled situations. That is why the method is used.
Double blind AB(x) tests in audio don't determine whether something is "better" which would rely on aural acuity, but if something is different.
rodman999994,108 posts10-23-2019 7:04amI’m still waiting for someone to, "prove" fancy fuses can’t/won’t/don’t improve one’s listening experience. OH, WAIT: you can’t. All I’ve seen/read here, thus far, are theories and subjectivity. Nothing’s ever been categorically proven by either. Theories are proven through experimentation & measurement(the Scientific Method). Again: you have to know what and how to measure, but- there are nothing but theories, in that regard, thus far(IF you’re honest/not brainwashed). Double-blind listening tests, depend solely on the listeners’ aural acuity(highly subjective). The ONLY way an audiophile will ever know, if fancy fuses will improve THEIR listening experience, is to experiment/listen on their own, with their own system and ears.
