I think we're going to just have to agree to disagree. What you're talking about is, in my view, hand-picking your test subjects to pre-determine the result. And even though I believe you would fail to accomplish that goal, the goal is the antithesis of good research. And while I know you can train yourself to hear artifacts and distortions that usually go unnoticed, even by the most discriminating listeners, it doesn't just happen, it is an active process, and it is, in my opinion, the opposite of "audiophile" in the true sense of the word -- a lover of sound. It is crossing over to be a lover of gear, a lover of the technology that produces sound.
In my opinion.
And no, I don't consider myself an arbiter of what constitutes music and never implied that. We haven't discussed my opinions of music and what I think deserves that name in this thread or any other. We have only discussed what listening to physically misaligned tweeters playing square waves says about the relative quality of digital sampling rates when listening to music - type undefined - on an actual sound reproduction system.
I believe they are two very different things, that the former says little about the latter and that the introduction of actual systems, digital files and music into the testing would have completely changed the outcome, but we can agree to disagree on that as well.
