RE: Yep, Faulty Logic

Experience from many years of double-blind listening tests of audio equipment is summarized. The results are generally consistent with threshold estimates from psychoacoustic literature, that is, listeners often fail to prove they can hear a difference after non-controlled listening suggested that there was one . However, the fantasy of audible differences continues despite the fact of audibility thresholds.

*** If that's the case, please point me to the proper citations that show scientifically that dbt's are useful in audio and where they have been calibrated to show their sensitivity to that being tested. ***

I just posted an abstract for you to digest. Furthermore, did you read the example posted in andyC post? Did you read the control experiment and the conclusion which clearly states "The A/B/X test was proven to be more sensitive than long-term listening for this task.", do you have anything to counter this aside from your assertion. You are the one going round in circles here, not I. And understandbly so, because your position is untenable due to faulty logic.
