ABX is intended to discover if a listener can detect a difference between A and B. If so it says nothing about which is the listener's preference. AB testing is intended to discover the listener's preference between A and B. It says nothing about which is better for other listeners i.e. the result is subjective. Most objections I've read to ABX and AB are not fundamental objections. They're about how particular tests are carried out in practice, for example the structure or length of the listening sessions. (Doing a long-term AB(X) isn't impossible, just difficult.) Darren
