Have you done a blind test? The proof is always in the pudding...
Why would I blind test? If I am not biased at the beginning and the differences are obvious as can be why wouldnt I just trust my ears?
The problem with this a/b blind switching is that if you do it enough you wont hear a difference nomore because the brain corrects using its memory. Thats what it always does btw. It basically tryes to translate all input to "i have heard something alike so I can understand this". Thats why good timbre is so important. It makes listening more easy for your brain.
So my question: have you done a single listening session were you just relaxed and listened to alot of different stuff?
Blind testing doesn't mitigate only conscious biases, but subconscious ones as well. Simply saying "I'm not biased" is insufficient; otherwise there would be no point in double blind experiments.
Even a tiny volume mismatch will make the device outputting the higher volume sound better to anyone.
You're spreading bullshit, please stop.
