It is up to those who advise spending more money on components to prove that there will be an audible difference.I have no reason to dismiss all blind auditions as you do simply because I don't like the results.
If a person auditions blind, at least I can have some confidence his opinion is based on the sound of the component, rather than his pre-existing attitudes, beliefs and expectations.
Imagined differences are the most logical explanation of why differences "heard" in sighted evaluations disappear minutes later under blind conditions. If you have a better explanation, besides your usual "parlor tricks" phrase, then please offer it.
I prefer my evidence to concentrate on what is heard, without bias from what one "knows" about a component from positive reviews and word-of-mouth.
It is a well known fact that human hearing continues to work properly even when the brand name of a component is hidden from view. Not your ears of course!
In fact, human hearing may be most sensitive when the eyes are closed, so that the brain does not have to process any visual input and can focus more on the sound quality.
