In Reply to: I hear a difference when I don't know which is in. What is your conclusion? posted by Norm on April 19, 2010 at 08:50:33:
"Hearing" a difference doesn't mean s*** to me. Of course you hear a difference. I heard a difference too before submitting myself to a blind test. You like research? Wine tasters in the Brochet experiment, presented with the same wine in two bottles (one expensive-looking, one cheap-looking), tasted two totally different ones when it was one. WINE EXPERTS!!!!And sure enough, my definition of a blind test is a loose one in this case and I never pretended it was anything else.
The blind test I offer, nevertheless, is really easy to realize (although considering the number of people who've done it, one wouldn't think so). Plus on such a simple issue, there really is no need to over-complicate things.
Test yourself say 10 times, alternating stock fuse and audiophile fuse.
Write down which one is which on a piece of paper. Then see how many times out of ten you get it right.If you make it to 8, then we'll discuss fuse "polarity". If the difference is real, 2 off is already generous.
The truth is, when you look at your little piece of paper, you'll realize you're far off the count... And if you're not, well then I will have learnt something.

PS: on another cynical note, I find it interesting that Hifi Tuning, who's always declared fuses are not directional, suddenly discovered they were! Lol. Come on guys.

- I see no value in even a "good" blind test and am surprised that you do, but hey we all do what we want. nt - Norm 10:01:38 04/21/10 (0)
