Amir and Blind Testing

@chayro , not at all because in AB testing you are comparing two subjects with the same frame of mind so whatever your frame of mind is cancelled out as long as no biases creep in which is the tough part and why double blinding the comparison is the best way to avoid bias. None of this is that serious. It is not like we are evaluating medical treatments. I do AB comparisons for myself and my own education and could give a squat over what other people think. 

The problem for many people is they trust their own perception. This just does not work well for hearing. The result of all this is an entire industry based on deception. As long as it is not my money why should I care? 

Saying an half truth will not solve the problem...

The ear can deceive YES and the measuring tools can deceive us also when we focus on one aspect of sound only, or when we focus on the GEAR or the TOOL instead of the acoustic multidimensional aspect piloted by our hearing...

People throw their money in upgrading the GEAR because the measuring tool say so in the publicity...

Instead of upgrading toward costlier components, learning acoustic by ear will liberate them from the consumers market conditioning selling the GEAR because of some MEASURED specs say so , underestimating acoustic experience of our trainable ears is the sin of the measuring fads and the cardinal sin of the SELLERS.......

Acoustic is not only a set of equations it is also a brain/ears experience and the dynamic correlation between the two in real time in our room ...We must learn our room...

Saying that the ears are not trainable because it cannot be trusted is like painting yourtself in a corner....

Repeating that the ears are not to be trusted is an half truth worse than a lie....

The problem for many people is they trust their own perception. This just does not work well for hearing. The result of all this is an entire industry based on deception. As long as it is not my money why should I care?

If you can't trust your own perception why listen at all, obviously you can't enjoy music unless there are graphs and measurements.

Why should the legitimacy of methods used for the purpose that they are intended depend on where you sit?

Fixed. "depending on where you sit in obj vs sub viewpoint, some interesting reads for another viewpoint", another Link

Actually, it was a mistake to even respond to this topic, as it just gives more publicity to that site and its unremitting undertone
