[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 2552481, member: 560148"] abx and double blind testing are great for all kinds of things, like curing diseases, to take that one step further. It's part of the cause for arguably every major advancement of human knowledge in the last 150 years (it's all part of the scientific method). For some people, if we use it to test a persons hearing, well it's useless. To say you can hear convince yourself of anything is quite true, to use it to dismiss an ABX test is ignorant. The entire point of the test is you dont' know what your actually listening to. Your simply forced to judge what you hear based on that alone, the sounds that you actually hear. Not the names on the box, not the pricetag, or what a scientist told you it's should sound like. ABx testing is about as real world as it gets, like it or not. It eliminates all the other variables and actually allows you to test what's truly relevant. [/QUOTE]
