Blind auditions are "parlor tricks to make small audible differences
disappear" !!!Audio differences ONLY disappear if they were imagined in the first place!
The knowledge of what brand/model component is being auditioned never adds value to the description of the sound quality. And a description of the sound quality is only meaningful if the listener really hears a difference under blind conditions.
Sighted auditions almost never result in "they sound the same" or "I can't hear a difference" because these possible results are usually are "attacked" by pesky salesmen and rude audophiles who "believe" they have golden ears and therefore feel any conflicting results must be 'bad audition methodology' or 'cheap components' or 'poor hearing ability'.
For golden ears the obvious cause of people hearing fewer component differences when SPL's are matched and brand names hidden is casually dismissed (obvious means that "differences" under sighted conditions could be nothing more than an overactive audiophile imagination fueled by his big ego): ('I can hear differences and I don't have to prove it to anyone').
Like you for one example.
