Could those people refering to ABX test's, double blind test's, rigorous test's...etc
Please provide links to these tests

Ten years of A/B/X Testing
Experience from many years of double-blind listening tests of audio equipment is summarized. The results are generally consistent with threshold estimates from psychoacoustic literature, that is, listeners often fail to prove they can hear a difference after non-controlled listening suggested that there was one. However, the fantasy of audible differences continues despite the fact of audibility thresholds. David L. Clark

In double-blind tests, casual and professional listeners could not reliably identify high-bandwidth and high-resolution (192 kHz 24bit versus 48 kHz 24bit)
Measuring Audible Effects of Time Delays in Listening Rooms
Comb filter and all-pass time delay effects from stereo speakers in a representative listening room were auditioned and analyzed using a Time Delay Spectrometry analyzer. Considerable care was required to produce measurements that correlated with the audible effect. Conclusions are presented on the sonic relevance of some time, phase, and response measurements of speakers designed for stereo music reproduction. No one to date has been able to detect the presence of this circuit in hundreds of sensitive double-blind tests on speech or music program Clark, David AES Convention:74 (October 1983) Paper Number
