It's not at all impossible, it's just difficult, because they affect the
sound in subtle ways.

Interconnects, possibly, if one is badly flawed in design or far too
long

Not true, but I wouldn't expect any other form of reply from someone like
you.

Assuming you mean "not true - they all affect the sound perceptibly",
then take Stewart's money. That would show him up far more than
resulting to juvenile insults on Usenet.

15/20 correct on a blind test should be fairly easy to achieve if you
really believe there are audible differences.

Slight correction of wording:

"15/20 correct on a blind test should be fairly easy to achieve if the
difference you believe in really exists." :-)

The test is not of the existence of the 'belief', but of if it has any
foundation in physical reality, and - if so - arises for the reasons
claimed.

The test have been available for some years. IIUC What has prevented it
taking place is that - so far at least - not a single 'believer' has been
willing to participate. All the other requirements are available. This
enduring lack seems odd, given how many people insist that their belief is
correct.

Slainte,

Jim
