>>I'll repeat a hypothetical I just used in another post. I have two sets of cables, A and B. I switch them in and out of my system, listening each time I make the switch knowing which cable I’m listening to, and then claim that they sound different. At that point I'm describing my "perception". Whether or not my perception of difference is due to actual audible sonic differences between A and B can only be "scientifically validated" or verified through control testing, and even at that, only to a certain statistical confidence level.<<Yes! It can be verified through control testing. However, failure to verify a sonic difference during control testing is a *substantially* less meaningful result. Anyone professing strict adherence to scientific method must admit this.
