"In the case of clinical studies the comparison is between the actual thing being studied and the control group taking the placebo."
The context here is a singular test subject...... He's not comparing anything personally.
One test subject might be evaluating the test product, another test subject might be evaluating the placebo......
But this has nothing to do with ABX testing, which determines whether a test subject can discern differences between "A" and "B" by guessing "X" correctly, in repeated trials. (The test conductor, if separate from the test subject, need not even be "blind" in an ABX test.)
"The other thing I don't agree with was his claim that CD is "orders of magnitude" more accurate than vinyl...... There is no tangible way to even confirm (or refute) that."
Sure there is. Objective measurements. They both can be objectively measured for accuracy because we can directly compare the input to the output and objectively measure the differences. A simple bull test will completely and thoroughly address every aspect of their respective audio signals and give us clear quantifiable objective measures of their accuracy to the original signal.
How does one measure "accuracy?"..... Even JJ has admitted it is not a clear-cut phenomenon that is measurable. (Distortion is measurable, but there is a lot more to accuracy than just measuring distortion.)![]()
