Why not just ask listeners to say which amplifier they "liked" better, takes away the "did I get it right?" factor and if there's anything an audiophile has not problem with its declaring his/her subjective preferences, comes natural, can't imagine a less anxiety free query for an audiophile actually.You could them ask participants who had *already* given their judgement to answer a fact-finder summary, i.e. the question might be "What was it about your choice you felt was better? E.g. better bass, better realism, more relaxed, smoother, more dynamic?
Oh, if you get a lot of "I liked both" answers that would be an indication the was little to tell them apart.
