Stating (or at least implying) that ABX listening tests
are not of much use in comparing the sound of equipment
is like stating that a stop watch is not of much use in
comparing the 0-60 MPH ET of sports cars. In both cases,
the tests give objective measurements instead of relaying
on subjective judgements.

I find it curious that while automotive performance still clearly has a
strong subjective component, objective tests of cars are considered to be
highly significant. The curiosity part is how this sort of
subjective/objective balance did not become more prevelent in audio.
