Interactive ABX Test – Can You Hear the Difference?

With YouTube’s poll system, we’re now able to blind test the world! I won’t get into the details of this particular test just yet. Just give it a listen and see how well you did compare to everyone else.

Regardless of how many you got out of five, please let us know what equipment you were using. Also, whether this blind test was difficult or fairly easy.

There are timestamps to easily jump between the various tracks. The answers are far below so don’t scroll toi quickly 😉

Give it shot!

Mr. Audio Bacon himself. An open-minded electrical engineer and software developer by trade. I have an obsession with the enjoyment of all things media - specifically in the realm of music and film. So much heart and soul (and money) go into the creation of this artistry. My aim is to find out which products get me closer to what the musicians and directors intended.

  • I've tried an in-person $5 vs $5,000 power cable test and the results are unmistakable. However, trying it through YouTube didn't work for me. I first tried my cell phone speakers. Then I tried through my LG CX TV into a surround sound receiver and then into my PS Audio BHK preamp, BHK 300 mono amps, fed by a P20 into Revel F228be speakers. Still all sounded the same; like garbage. So I found a website and converted the file into FLAC and transferred it to my innous zenith mk3 and through my Denafrips Terminator into the PS Audio equipment. Still sounds like garbage. YouTube totally destroyed the information, rendering any differences indiscernible. Do you have the original audio file, uncompressed, that I can try? It be fun to do (even with our the interactive portion).
