>Blind auditions of speakers are a good idea too, but the logistics of blind speaker auditions are very difficult.>Listening to anything blind and doing it correctly to control all of the variables is very difficult. Most are poorly controlled and are pretty meaningless.
Listening blind and listening sighted provide you with different types of errors. Blind listening gives you errors of omission - small audible differences disappear everything tends to sound the same. Sighted listening provides the possibility of errors of commission - you may hear things because of your biases that aren't really there. Neither is perfect.
So you dodged my question - if you listen to speakers sighted, how do you know which things you hear are real and which are imagined?
Inquiring minds want to know.
