The problem is that snap judgements are just as problematic as unblinded testimony. To do it right, you'd need for the tester to be blinded for several listening sessions lasting several hours and listening to a variety of musical genres, using capacitor A (or whatever component A), for example. And then to go through the same process, blinded, using capacitor B. And then ideally back to capacitor A. After THAT exhaustive process, I might believe my own ears (but not necessarily someone elses). We think we know and can remember what something sounded like after 5-10 minutes, but we are delusional.
