In Reply to: I guess I could add that auditions .... are often in a different room with different components than you have at home posted by Richard BassNut Greene on February 14, 2007 at 08:18:18:
"If an audiophile wants to audition ONLY the sound quality of a component without "expectations bias', then the component must be auditioned long-term, at home, with the brand name hidden."But why stop there? I mean surely if the audiophile were aware that some new component was installed this in and of itself could involve expectation bias that might well affect subjective evaluation.
Don't you think it would be better if the retailer snuck into the prospect's dwelling and secretly swapped components. Then the dealer could monitor the audiophile's internet posting to see if he/she were adopting a more favorable attitude, i.e. expressing more joy from the listening experience. If this were detected the dealer could then send out an invoice. However if no change were detected, or worst, the audiophile now seemed less pleased, the dealer could sneak in again to install some other component.
What do you think Mr. Nut, sensible ain't it?
