Re: Please explain "listener's fatigue"

As far as I know, there is no way to measure for listener fatigue.
Bravo! Listening fatigue is not taken into account by any ABX, DBT, etc test. Not only that: as far as I'm concerned, ABX, DBT result in the wrong conclusion. The characteristics that lead to equipment being chosen in blind and quick listening tests are exactly that which lead to listening fatigue eg. accentuated upper mids and the opposite of musicality.
