Home Critic's Corner

Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

And hence to make claims

of the merits of a methodology in lieu of the practice that demonstrates such is suspect to say the very least.

The fact that the other 'blind' testing methodologies are well established in other fields, e.g. drug testing, does not in any sense validate it's usage in home audio. Borrowing directly from JA's editorial without unduly abusing his intent I hope ... many of the vocal proponents appear "... to be making the naïve assumption that the mere fact that a test is blind inherently ... confers legitimacy on the test and its results. That assumption, I [JA] suggest, is 'bad science'—even voodoo."

That is the point.
