First ask each listener whether he prefers tube amps or solid state amps.

Then let each listener compare two amplifiers that are not visible (the design/styling may cause listeners to favor one or the other)

Tell him amplifier A is a solid state amp, when in fact it is a tube amp.

Tell him amplifier B is a tube amp, when in fact it is a solid state amp.

Determine how often the stated amp design preference (if there is one) matches the preferred sound quality amplifier.

I predict low correlation (assuming no clipping is allowed).
