...blind tests don't work for wine tasting.

Pretty much anyone can taste differences in wine.

They just don't work for audio equipment comparisons unless the differences are large.

But until you do some reading you won't understand the differences between your taste and audio processing.

For instance, blind tests were first validated for new drug clinical trials.

The background, experience and skills of the people taking the drugs don't affect the results in those tests.

They do in audio DBTs.

Most people don't hear differences.
