My posts point out that audiophiles in general can't demonstrate hearing abilities that they claim to have.
Your constant character attacks imply you disagree and believe audiophiles can really hear whatever they claim to hear -- although you are so busy attacking my character, you never specify what you believe.
You attack blind tests, so you imply sighted listening is somehow a better methodology, even though components are almost always compared playing music at different volumes, and brand names are known so the audiophile knows what to say about each brand.
Krell amps will be praised and Pioneer amps will be damned.
You seem to believe knowing the brand name in use is very important for an analysis of sound quality. Well perhaps that IS important for you.
My points about John Atkinson are about on-line claims about his blind test experiences, and published blind tests, versus the implication
in StereoPile that EVERY component sounds different.
No two components have EVER been said to sound so similar that no differences were heard -- and I've been reading StereoPile on and off since the 1960's!
So it seems that hiding the brand names causes Atkinson to have hearing difficulties: In over 100 blind tests he has only three positives other than speakers, and one positive test result was a test of connecting wire grounds incorrectly versus following the owners manual = ho hum.
In 100 blind tests, 3 or 4 positive results would be expected from wild random guessing.
So you tell us why hiding the brand names and adjusting the volume control so one component is not louder than another ... immediately kills the everything sounds different myth?
Please, Young Robert, skip the usual character attacks in your reply and tell us, once and for all, why knowing the brand names in use is necessary for a fair audition of sound quality?
