Damn it, there are those pesky expectation effects

Good point.

There's an equal danger in missing an audible difference
because you expect it to not be there, as there is a
danger
in falsely perceiving a difference because the listening
test was done naively.

So Eddie, what to do?

Note that a day later, Eddie has posted to other threads but
has no answer for my simple question.
