Worthwhile reading, if you care anything about audio.

Hey, good link - thanks for that, I hadn't seen it before.

The "in case you missed it" is a 1987 Brad Meyer's
account about a few loopholes that he said should deceive listeners to
falsely differentiate audio components from each other when in fact no
differences were present.
It is now 2005. Where are the published reports of identification of
components when ABXing? Falsely or correctly. NYOB is obviously
searching the old issues of "Stereo Review".

Not at all, it was posted on RAHE, where I can only assume you've been
banned, due to you having your head handed to you so many times and you not
taking it all that well.

He will not find any
there. Neither correct nor false by Brad Meyer's criteria, ABX makes
it all sound the same. Even Brad Meyer's laboriously researched false
clues can not withstand the brain-deafening "test".
When will simple minds grasp that reproduction of complex musical
signals is beyond the reach of their primitive "testing" tools?

When will simple minds realize that sighted listening for subtle differences
is worthless?

When will simple minds understand that once the responses of 2 devices is
close enough, they sound identical?

When will simple minds understand that despite their protestations, ABX and
other double blind protocols are the standard way serious researchers look
for differences?
