Trust them or not, we hear with our ears.

Hi.

I don't care whatever so-called "more reliable" methodology
of conducting audition tests. After all, our ears get the final say.

Mind you, audio perception involves hearing, sight & feeling.
That's why we all enjoy live concerts where we hear, see & involve in emotion of being there in the performance.

Missing any of these senses will kind of jeopardize our aural interpetation & render it incomplete.

We enjoy our fine dines as we see, smell & taste the food. Who wants to be blindfolded & nose plugged to eat? Please don't tell me
the so called scientific way of fine food appraisal is to eat with eyes closed & nose plugged.

Back to DBTs or whatever "more reliable" aural tests of audio gears,
it is so tedeous & so difficult to carry it out right, resulting null resutls so often. The auditon panel members got to trained how to conduct such audition properly etc etc etc less alone hearing & memory being different from person to person. It is still "more reliable"? I doubt.

I would go back to the basic way of sighted hearing which IMO, the nature bestows on us since day one. Anything artificial way depriving our total sense of hearing perception is not good enough & should not used to challenge our hearing.
