Good question deserves courteous answer. It means to ME that as long as most
people are not bothered trying to remember what they heard before to compare
with what they are hearing now they can concentrate properly on what their
auditory nerves are conveying to their brains. The result is "I like this
one" and "No, I don't like this one"

That is what it means to me. If you want to know what it means to Sean Olive
you'll have to ask him. I'm only reporting.

Of course as I said before I would love to see one of your "many" references
to positive DBT/ABX tests by most of a panel of say 10 audiophiles. If, as
you say, you have no time to find all of them just quote two to begin with.
After all there must be SOME comparable audio components out there that will
sound different to a small panel.

Even when they are ABXing.

Mr. McKelvy quotes:
A New Laboratory for Evaluating Multichannel Audio Components and

And comments:
Ludo doesn't really want this sort of information, he's been posturing
for
years. If he is actually exposed to what he already knows exists,
he's not
going to admit it.

Wrong again. I do love this information. I quoted it with the full
results from JAES in the opening letter of this thread. Using this
wonderful listening room Sean Olive ( Mr. Toole's cowoorker) had 300
listeners listen double blind to 4 loudspeakers two of which had
ragged frequency range.
And you know what (rerepeat just for you!) majority failed
abysmally to distinguish between speakers in a formal double blind
test, Another NEGATIVE DBT,
And you know what else? The same majority that failed *testing*
preferred full range speakers. As long as no one bothered them with
the "test". Don't believe me? Read the article and/or ask Sean Olive.
I did.

What is it you think this is supposed to mean?
