The following questions are for subjectivists. When you close your
eyes, does the sound from your audio system decrease in quality?
No.
If
the quality drops, why does it drop?
N/A
What is it about having to see
the device that improves the sound?
Nothing.
Agree with Jenn, nothing. No arguing against blind at all.
It is other aspects of the ABX test that are problematical.
The accusation that anybody who opposes ABX is somehow endorsing sighted
testing vs. blind is a strawman promulgated by many here on usenet.
'Tain't necessarily so.
Who says that? It's not about ABX in particular, it seems to be that many
people just don't think there's any reason to level match, and to hide the
faceplates. It's important if one wishes to do anything close to an
objective comparison, that level matching and being blind to the faceplates
be done.
The best way to evaluate sound is to use only one's ears. Nothing else is
required, yet some people balk at this notion.
