>>Do you understand what 'scientific validation' of a test is? It is proof the test is appropriate and actually works for the use you intendMight I suggest you look at ITU and EBU recommendation BS-1116 (Methods for the subjective assessment of small impairments in audio systems including multichannel sound systems)? Or is it your assertion that ITU has recommended scientifically invalid methods for scientific investigation of audio systems?
>> Of course we can express our opinions, just like you. But we aren't claiming our opinions about the way equipment sounds is scientifically validated.
Well, you can't, can you? And your comments about the veracity of our opinion is a strawman, no one is claiming that all blind listening tests are scientifically valid, and why should they? But where an opinion is based on scientifically valid data, why should we shy away from expressing it? What's wrong with expressing an opinion based on an informal listening test? You don't seem to have a problem with folks expressing opinions based on sighted tests, so why the double standard?
