RE: You said "some people swear [MQA] works"

I am not privy to all the details but why would McGill U., known for medical controlled blind tests, agree to do one for some audio thing? Doesn't make sense. It's very similar to what The Amazing Randi did, actually, after years of going after dowsers, spoon benders, ghost whisperers he decided to go after audiophiles - The Intelligent Chip and high end cables. Audio testing bears very little resemblance to medical testing, there are way too many things that can go wrong with audio tests. Also strange is why MQA would ask anyone to do a controlled blind test? If they thought it would help their marketing it backfired. Rule no. 1, never ask someone to test your product is there is a risk it will fail.

I shudder to think what kind of audio system McGill U. Was able to put together for this controlled blind test. And the checklist they used to ensure it was in perfect working condition. Lol
