Nulls are not meaningless, Mr. Brainiac

Blind tests FOLLOW claims of audible differences in sighted listening.

If no one could "hear" a difference in the warm-up audition, there would be no reason to continue with a blind methodology to test THE AUDIBILITY CLAIM.

If over decades it is common for audiophiles to claim they hear a difference in sighted warm up auditions ... yet they often hear no differences minutes later when the blind methodology is initiated, then we have evidence of audiophiles grossly overreporting audible A-B differences.

A blind test seeking audible A-B differences may find none, but merely observing the test participants provides strong evidence of biased audiophile behaviors (overreporting differences) when comparing components. This bias has affected me in sighted auditions. You are immune of course.
