Perhaps you should go back and review the record. It is clear, and
even the "objectivists" were forced to admit it, that the Zipser tests
weren't conducted to the normal "gold standard" of dbts. It is also
clear that the trend, when the test was prematurely stopped, was that
Mr. Zipser was approaching getting a statistically signignicant number
of trials correct.

There were way too many flaws in the testing procedure to claim, even
using dbt proponents own standards, any sort of significant result.


What's the big deal?
I'm perfectly willing to accept that there are no audible differences
between the Yamaha and the Pass amps in a DBT.

As DBTs don't resemble everyday listening, any difference heard in
sighted listening is valid to the listener, regardless whether visual
or other clues are responsible for that. End of story.
