For $1000000 I would arrange the system so that I could. Obviously in controlled listening tests using normal equipment one cannot hear a difference or else Randi would not have issued the challenge. Nonetheless, depending on the details of test there may be sufficient freedom to arrange things so a difference can be heard.

But these are not controlled listening tests which Randi will require.

Indeed.

Not at all. It would almost certainly indicate incompetence if sold commercially.
