Where are the equally scholarly pieces of research that show that some
other form of testing for audio differences have merit?

Define "scholarly".
http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Scholarly_method

Scholarly method - or as it is more commonly called, scholarship - is the
body of principles and practices used by scholars to make their claims
about the world as valid and trustworthy as possible, and to make them
known to the scholarly public. In its broadest sense, scholarship can be
taken to include the scientific method, which is the body of scholarly
practice that governs the sciences. This article focuses on scholarship in
the narrower sense, covering rational inquiry in areas that are mostly too
complex as yet to be treated by science. These include history as well as
the creations of the human mind in the form of art, music, literature,
religion, philosophy, and cultural beliefs.

I must be interpreting this definition incorrectly - "covering rational
inquiry in areas that are mostly too complex as yet
to be treated by science". Is this definition suggesting that there might
be some areas, including music, that might be too complex to be understood
and explained by science? Heresy, I say!! Behead the infidel!!
