In Reply to: RE: Why should anyone accept some anomalous result without replication? posted by rick_m on July 21, 2010 at 07:17:26:
One can't replicate past events, such as Caesar crossing the Rubicon or the Big Bang, but one can re-examine the data available or try to replicate the experiments or do other experiments which bear on the issue.
For example, Banks and Krajicek were not satisfied with the design and set up of Stereophile's blind test of two amplifiers. So they administered a smaller scale but much better set up blind test with different speakers and were able to confirm that the two amplifiers did sound different in the tests. Given that one was a tube amplifier with a high output impedance and the other was a solid state amplifier with a low output impedance, this was hardly surprising.
