Nope, didn't say that. If somebody can't hear a difference, that doesn't mean they're not hearing a difference. It's an analogue world. All it means is the differences are below their noise threshold but that doesn't mean the differences aren't there.
Kindly refer to the above bolded passage for why your post is ridiculous.
If the differences aren't audible, then for all our brains are concerned, there is no difference. That's why anti-cablers debate not that there are no differences, but that there are no audible differences. All the measurable differences in the world mean nothing for a product meant to change perceived sound if our ears aren't good enough to perceive them.
Would you like more italics?
No, I'm saying that if you want the truth, you'll have to wire the listener's brain up and see what lights up. Now you're in valid, quantifiable, territory. Anything else is a waste of time because it's all arbitrary. Until this is done, there's no debate as it's all subjective.
But results from a DBT are quantifiable. If they get X right out of Y trials, there's a Z percent chance that they're guessing. Those results are perfectly acceptable in lieu of expensive brain measuring equipment. Modern medicine has been accepting them for ages. And that's all the scientists ask for is the passing of a DBT. Your reasons for invalidity aren't valid.
