Anybody else read the beginning of the title as "Blind taste test"?

I consider myself an audiophile-light. I've never been one to nit pick over minor things, but I can just tell the slightest difference between some brands.

hmm interesting, if guesses were completely random would expect more like %50 mistakes. does this mean that mud actually transmits audio better than copper (assuming everyone marked the best sound they thought was as copper).
