"Ascertaining high-fidelity: the double-blind tests
"Attempted improvements in hardware (equipment like microphones,
loudspeakers, etc.) should really be tested by "double-blind (D-B)"
listening comparisons, before they are offered for sale. If this is not
done, it is unfortunately too easy for "power of suggestion" to convince
people that the new thing is audibly better.

"Many new developments in this field are measurably better, for example the
ability to reproduce frequencies above 30 kHz, but nobody can hear the
difference, so they are not audibly better. It is sometimes easy to convince
yourself that a new thing sounds different, but a double-blind test prevents
anyone from identifying which equipment is new versus old. The D-B test
involves hiding both the old and new equipment from view, and taking notes
on which one the listener thinks sounds better, with all notes written in
code. That could be a single-blind test, but if even the person operating
the switch does not know which is new or old, then it is double-blind. After
the test is completed, the notes are decoded.

"This kind of testing is has been required in the approval of new medicines
since about 1960. However, the D-B audio listening test was first described
by Dan Shanefield, in November of 1974, in the newsletter of the Boston
Audio Society. This was later reported to the general public in High
Fidelity Magazine, March 1980. The D-B listening comparison is now a
standard procedure with most audio professionals. (It should be mentioned
that a few manufacturers of very expensive audio equipment still dispute the
need for this test.) A commonly used improvement of this test is the ABX
listening comparison. This involves comparing two known audio sources (A and
B) with either one of those when it has been randomly selected (X). The
test, and its associated equipment, was developed by the Southeastern
Michigan Woofer and Tweeter Marching Society ("SMWTMS"), a semi-pro,
semi-amateur organization in Detroit, which is very active in the
double-blind testing of new audio components.

One of many, I'm sure. But I don't know which one.

Anyone can submit anything to a wiki.
There's no editing, no proofreading and no peer-review involved.

BTW did you notice the thread title? Is that a new kind of disease?
