editors and reviewers should prove their listening skills

Count me among those who would like to see more double-blind testing, that is of those who make a living claiming to hear what many cannot. It is the editors and reveiwers who should be required to prove they actually possess the listening skills which they purport to have. The skill to make the draw the kind of distinctions which they make in their monthly reviews.

It is those with the golden ears who should submit to double blind testing to determine whether they in fact hear meaningful differences, e.g. distinguish between the CD and Super CD layer. If they where able to do this consistantly, I might pay more attention.

Testing the golden ears is the best use of DBT.
