No. But I did see the obvious anti vinyl bias in such a
broad sweeping claim. Perhaps if you had done the
comparisons with bias controls in place I might have
taken your assertion more seriously.
Single blind tests = essentially no adequate bias
controls.
That simply is not true.

Nobody has taken single blind tests seriously since Clever Hans *talked*
back in the early 1800s.


They have their limited uses -- there are experiments where the
experimenters cannot eithically 'blind' themselves, e.g. sham surgery.
But for experimetnal psychology, DBT is the way to go.


For experiemental psychology peer reviewed publication is maditory for
initial acceptance of any data or conclusions among scientists and
academics. Is this the level of rigor you are suggesting should be
applied to audiophilia? The same as experimental psychology?
