Don't tell me who is a supporter of what.

Right, why confuse Mirabel with mere facts?

Just give a reference to ONE SINGLE audio component
comparison by S. Olive using ABX.

This is Mirabel's idea of proof of non-existence of DBTs: Absence of a
peer-reviewed paper saying that some certain person did an ABX test of
specific pieces of audio gear.

What a bogus criteria!

I've already explained to Mirabel that scientific papers as a rule don't
involve actual commercial products, and when they do, the make and model
information is often concealed. What Mirabel does not seem to get is the
idea that scientific papers are about science, they not usually about
consumer product testing.

Mirabel also ignores the fact that Sean Olive is primarily a developer of
speakers, not electronic components. Speakers generally pass ABX tests.
Frankly testing speakers is not a strength of ABX testing.

And this is another one of Mirabel's deceptions - he lumps all
bias-controlled tests under the name "ABX". Olive is well-known for doing
bias-controlled listening tests, but he generally uses testing procedures
that are more suited to his area of interest - not ABX.

For that matter give a reference to ANY component
comparisons by ANYBODY that appeared in an *audio
professional Jornal*.

Asked and answered. Mirabel seems to think that audio professional journals
are supposed to compete with Stereophile or Sound and Vision.

This request has been repeated again and again for the
last five years. So far no takers. Be the first.

Asked and answered, many times.
