You, for example, could never give a Pioneer receiver a fair audition versus a Classe amplifier because you have a negative attitude about Pioneer and also have the unproven belief that your ears can virtually always hear differences among components. That is typical of audiophiles.Under blind conditions, you would have the opportunity to give a Pioneer receiver a fair audition, and simultaneously prove whether or not your ears really can consistently hear component differences.
Or is a blind audition unnecessary because you already "know" what the Pioneer receiver sounds like without even listening to one?
Not that any "golden ear" wants to take the chance in public of losing his self-proclaimed "golden ear" status!
What shame you would have to endure if your ears could not hear the difference between a Pioneer receiver and Classe amplifier !
In a double-blind audition in the 1980's, roughly one dozen local audio club members could not hear the difference between a Pioneer receiver and a Classe amplifier with both playing music at the same SPL and no clipping. I was one of the participants.
Now it's your turn to dismiss the results of this experiment and attack the characters of the audiophile's involved, in the usual "golden ear" style!
Not that you would ever take an hour of your oh so busy life to prove how perceptive your own ears are !
It's far easier to believe in one's superior hearing ability ...
than it is to prove one really has "golden ears".
