You nailed it


What we hear or perceive to hear is influenced by so many factors from moods, stress, state of mind as well as sight bias. Even sight bias changes depending on state of mind. Its very subjective from that point of view.

The problem with subjective results is that the listening process may not be repeatable with the exact same influencing factors. Therefore, I tend not rely on subjective claims as fact that there are differences between components. I don't doubt that the listener who claims to hear differences did perceive differences at that time but what were the influencing factors at that time? Can they be consistent enough to come up with the same results? IHO, I don't think so.
