I have done the same and I have discussed it wih people
who actually do hearing reearch for a living. The common
opinion I get from actual research scientists in the
field of human hearing are pretty much the same. If it
aint peer reviewed it's junk as frar as science is
concered and it is highly unlikely that audio jounalists
or audiophiles would be able to do tests that would stand
up to peer review.

I don't think you understand the problem, Scott. It is not about audio
journalists and audiophiles doing tests that would stand up to peer review,
it is about audio journalists and audiophiles doing tests stand up to the
cold light of day. Without a typical audiophile's suspended disbelief, most
of the alleged listening evaluations and opinions published in high end
magazines and web sites are well beyond the pale.

I had an interesting chat with a guy who's into high-end audio last night.

You'd be amused to hear how they 'persuade' ppl to buy kit !
