Hi John:
So the subjectivist position could be summed up thus: If there is no audible difference the fault lies with the methodology, not the listening panel. However, if there is an audible difference then the methodology is sound. Is that about it?
The question arises: Can you envision a scenario in which proper methodology is employed, but yields no audible difference?
In the interest of intellectual honesty, it would be refreshing if both camps could agree the methodology to be employed is sound **prior** to beginning the test, and then let the chips fall where they may. That way, subjectivists are not given the convenient luxury of an escape clause. Perhaps sometimes there’s just no there there when it comes to demonstrable differences regardless of the methodology being utilized. In any event, it’s refreshing to see you so enamored with the efficacy of a double blind test. :)
