Double Blind Testing is nothing more than a parlor trick devised by people with an agenda. We've all known "friends" who for some reason never warmed to stereo like we did. Detraction started early for me as I went deeper into this hobby and those that didn't share my joy drifted away from stereo and me, some completely.
Denial of the benefits of upgrading was mitigated by anger and resentment, yet some chose to stick around assuming the role of a self appointed ref of sorts. That only served to weaken the friendship as no one wants detractors hanging around which only strengthened their resentment. It never failed to amaze me just how people can separate themselves from others over such a small a matter as taste in a hobby.
All the best,
Nonoise
