RE: ASR forums, Toole and Olive. When science creates a religious cult

Nothing is perfect - if a DBT were perfect there would only need to be ONE trial - once you start with 10 or 16 or more - you are hoping to get statistical correlation.

But using basic logic - what do audiophiles and reviewers babble on about a LOT on audio forums and in reviewers.

Imaging

and

Soundstaging.


Two things that can't be 'tested' in blind tests with one speaker in the middle of the room.

99.9% of everyone listens to Stereo systems (or multi-channel so even more than stereo).

So to be a valid test of any type - the test needs to be in at least "stereo"

I mean this is basic logic and the bare minimum for a credible test.

The reason I suspect most tests are not done in this manner is it's too hard and too expensive - which is fair enough - but then don't ask people to take the results as gospel especially when independent blind level matched tests of speakers have people choosing "different" speakers.
