I am a big believer in double-blind listening tests. I have been surprised by how little differences there are when you don't know which item you are listening too. When double-blind is not an option I will down-select to two choices and then bring along the family for a listening session. They will not know what two items they are comparing.
Blind or Just Deaf?
Does anyone following these forums actually insist
on doing a "Blind" listening test before laying out
several thousand on a new piece?
Or is a little Herb wax all you need to slip into something comfortable?
I do not necessarily mean in your own listening room
as that is difficult to do. If you have to bring your own
Amp or speaker to a retailer then you have done what can be done.
Or you may be comparing two items you do not own.
Finally, would you pay $ for a blind comparative listening session
at a properly set up facility?
I have an idea I think may be a good one.
Not from Dwight either.
