+1 DBT shows a difference, not what is best. If you can't hear a difference on DBT, it may still be there, but your test is not suitable for showing that difference. Extended listening is the only way. Blind is best, sure, but if you listen for long enough, you can overcome your prejudices, IMO. Mostly...
