Interesting article, Daniel, which again makes the point that many fail to grasp, i.e. that in audio there's little correlation between price and sound quality. If you haven't read it in the past the revised version of Dr. Toole's paper which is shown as
reference 1 in the article is very informative. In particular the discussion and fig.4 on page 10 demonstrates the necessity for blind tests even of items, such as speakers, which have significant audible differences. As Dr. Toole put it at an AES meeting: "If you can see what you're listening to, you can't hear it".
