Blind testing assumes that one steps in the same river twice
Posted by Jay Buridan on November 7, 2016 at 14:46:05:
My ears and mental states change in the course of a single listening session. It's a matter of biochemical fluidity that affects or comprises the living subject. While relative to the listener, e.g., once it warms up, the preamp is relatively stable; in a way, listener and preamp are in different rivers.
But non-blind testing adds a variable. And so is less reliable... or more reliable. What do you think?
