It would be extremely hard to blind your average listening room, especially considering that most these days proudly display their cables instead of trying to hide them as in ages past. Most things like dampening curtains would definitely change the acoustics of the room, and it would be extremely hard to obscufate the cables themselves because of the obvious aftermarket terminators used.
It'll be interesting to see what they agree to, and what the sticking points are if they do not.
Really though, if the sticking point is that to properly conduct the test it needs to done one ones own system because of the subtle acclimation of one to their own system, I hope I never see a cable review from a trade show again.
