If only we had the necessary funds and time it would be great to
do, but it would cost a small fortune and take a lot of time and effort and I'm afraid many of us would still be less than objective.Were you around when the Late Audio Magazine did extensive ABX Comparator testing ? They went to great pains to insure a level playing field on the technical end and had expert listening panels comprised of Industry folks
serious musicians academics, and audiophiles but it raised a real Hornets nest when they compared a very modest CD player with some nose bleed high end megabuck transport and Dac and it turned out the listeners actual ability to differentiate between the two was somewhat less than random chance would result in, many of the snootier seriously wound up Audiophool
readers went absolutely berserk, a prime case of Africanized Bees in their bloomers ;-)It's a safe bet you'll never ever see something like that in Stereopile or our own cable and wire asylum which last time I looked strictly forbade ABX / Blind testing, as apparently it would obviate their carefully contrived subjectivity and you can't have that ;-)
