I can evaluate two (or more) "sighted" samples thoroughly honestly, just like everyone in the trade (which I'm not). We are not impressed by labels!Nor are most people in audio, thus impressed. Let's be real. Don't we all love David for whumping Goliath? If prejudice there be, it's for the underdog.
Which is just the opposite of what my opponents mistakenly believe.
Ever had the Two Buck Chuck 2002 Sirah? My gosh it's good. Would I have downrated it, in comparison to other, more glamorous entries, knowing its provenance? Hell, no! Why should I? Here is a triumph of the art that I would wish everyone to know about. Geez!
'Tis folly to believe that our fellow audiophiles do not share these same enthusiasms.
