Sigh....
I'll do this on their system
The claimant is the testee. If they can make a claim sighted and state it's just their ears then they can do this in the dark.
Then the differences aren't as 'readily apparent' and 'easy to discern' or other colloquialisms that I've seen bandied about.

1. The system used for the test is not sufficiently resolving to distinguish differences that might be audible on a better system.

2. There are mistakes in the system that were not found even if there was a search for mistakes or errors. Saying that the test procedures are thorough doesn’t necessarily mean they really are thorough.I'll do this on their system
3. The hearing capability of the testee is not up to the task.

4. For a blind test involving many trials, say 10 or more, the odds are high that the testee doesn’t have the focus or strength to dinstinguish audible differences for periods of time without tiring. You can’t just say oh, well, that’s the way it goes.

5. System issues that go undetected due to naïveté of those involved in the test. Directionality of Fuses, directionality of cables, Polarity check of all connections, etc.

6. Using unfamiliar music for the test.

7. Using a test system unfamiliar to the testee.I'll do this on their system. In 2015 at an AQ demo I saw a people hear differences in Ethernet cabling in a really crummy room on equipment they had no familiarity with, music that most likely they weren't familiar with.
8. Weather and other “external variables” that affect the sound of any system that could make hearing subtle differences in sound difficult or impossible.I'll try to schedule my visit with you to avoid thunderstorms.
What if results are positive?
