In Reply to: RE: Why blind listening tests are crucial posted by 3db on March 26, 2015 at 09:12:05
A few things I noted from reading all the posts.
1) DBT .. never got mentioned by me. I said blind listening test. Many of you caught that, hence "listening to my eyes closed remark". You obviously get it for those who do.
2.)Cause and effect and the ability to follow logic doesn't exist for those of you who can't make the connection of sight bias and how it affects what we hear. This video clearly demonstrates how sight prevented us from hearing the "fa fa fa" when what was really being pronounced is "ba ba ba". Then comes the BS rationalization as to how sight bias doesn't effect your hearing. This thread is indicating that the subjective camp is far more closed minded than the objective camp.

You may - and most certainly will - ignore the obvious.
All I see is irrelevant arguements thrown up in a vain attempt to disprove the logical. Your just another lemming ready to follow the subjective crowd over the cliff.

You should check out some of the PropHead threads from a few years back.
The true objective camp doesn't accept blind tests as valid unless they are double blind. They believe everything sounds the same except speakers (and phono cartridges) so they devised a test that would help support their agenda. The true subjective camp thinks everything sounds different. The reason I lean towards the subjective camp is because I've proven to myself that some things do sound different, which renders the true objective camp incorrect. So I don't agree that the objective camp is anything but completely closed-minded. Haven't decided on the subjective camp yet. :)
I agree blind tests are helpful. I've participated in many single blind tests. I don't agree they are crucial but a few of them have indeed failed to support my sighted listening. Typically they support the basic differences I hear but reduce the ease of which I hear them.
