[QUOTE="joetama, post: 2552678, member: 564641"] Real world as it gets is setting for hours and hours and listening and picking apart the weaknesses. People are tolerant to things, let's use the weather for example. When it is summer time 60 feels cold and when it is winter time 60 feel crazy warm. So, my point of this is as you listen to something for periods of time you begin to stop listening to the overall great sound and find the weak points. So, in a ABX session lets say you listen 15 minutes to A, then 15 minutes to B, then go back and forth randomly between A&B. Because of the short amounts of time and because listening to something else changes the tolerances of your hearing there would be no way to distinctly pick between the two. If you could listen to them both at the same time (which you can't) for the exact amount of time at with the same material you would defiantly for sure be able to tell things apart. But, since you can't do that we will never know for sure. I don't see how a experiment with sound could be compared to years of technological advancement and medical technology. In most scientific experiments either something is different or not, and in many cases electronic equipment is used to measure this change. BUT, in a Sound ABX testing electronic equipment can not be used (and it is obvious why). I am not saying in ABX is totally flawed BUT, the way that these tests are setup is why people always fail.
