Just remeber that a negative result would prove absolutely nothing!

Before even starting a blind test you need a person who thinks he/she
can hear a difference and a system where this is the case. Only then
can blind or double blind A/B contribute anything at all. A negative
now still provides ONLY proof that the initial claims were false, or
impossible to replicate in the A/B setting. It doesn't prove anything
else.

Please appreciate the impossibility in scientifically proving the
absence of something.
