When it comes to the subjective camp I wonder how much brand/price bias figures into the evaluation process?
They are of the same price and both are of unknown brands to the listener? That happened to me on one of my visits to Sea Cliff back in '01. The two contenders were a pair of Edge Signature Monoblocks:
vs VTL Wotans:
Visually, it was like comparing Jenny McCarthy to Rosie O'Donnell. Chassis of milled and engraved aluminum using countersunk machine bolts vs rolled sheet metal and plain screws.
Guess which I preferred in terms of making the walls disappear and sounding more like live music? Soon after that, I purchased new amps and remain giddily happy using them to this day. If you check my system, you'll find the answer to the question. :)

That's what DBT proponents would say. :)

It's to your credit that you weren't swayed by a pretty face. But my point has to do with brand/price, not cosmetics.
"They are of the same price and both are of unknown brands to the listener?"
Again, my example has to do with situations in which the listener does know the brands and prices under review (or, as in the Stanford study, believes he does).
But my point has to do with brand/price, not cosmetics.
I had never heard of either brand before, so I had no prior bias about either - one way or another.
Their price was the same.
My choice was based upon my emotional reaction to how each reproduced music. One was exceptionally good. The other had me laughing out loud listening to my favorite music. :)

Good for you. I can think of no better criteria for purchasing an audio component.
...don't you list your system?
