The internal link is to the New York Times issue so not sure who can get it; I wasn't able to bu the quoted section from it was interesting non the less.

I was able to get to it. I think this quote from the article pretty much explains the need to do a DBT when comparing audio equipment/formats.

"The idea that perceptions can be manipulated by expectations"...

Shocking revelation.

Thanks for this quote
Yes, it is shocking But, this doesn't stop with audio and should extend to the consumer marketplace as well and Consumers Union is trying to do this.
