Not sure if you have seen this or if is has been posted here before. This backups my feelings on audio ABX tests.
http://www.sieveking-sound.de/abx/
Most of you will fail this visual ABX test despite knowing for a fact that there is a difference between the items they are showing you. If you can't pass an ABX test in which there is a guaranteed measurable and visual difference in images, they how can an audio ABX be valid?
And before you bring up the fact that there might not being a measurable (or significantly measurable) difference in amps, cables, dacs, or whatever. Measurements don't tell the whole story. Is soundstage/headstage measurable? No, but we can all agree AKG's have massive soundstage compared to Grados. How can that be when it's not measurable? <rhetorical, don't attempt to answer>
