i knew someone was going to ask me for this. every time i (re)google the stuff i found before on this, i seem to find different studies, and the old ones are gone. i should keep/host the PDF's. i know that some of the papers i've read have been hosted (but not done by) hydrogen audio. beyond that, i would just google for "double blind mp3 test" and start reading.
sorry to not be able to point at "my sources"

its a common woo belief that you can "train" the ear to hear these differences and people who work in audio like to think they've done so. the current understanding of the ability to hear the differences, however, is not based on "training" but physiological abilities of the inner ear. double blind tests of discrimination including self-classified "golden ears" doesn't show them to substantively better than a random population sample.
That's very interesting. Can you, please, point me to a paper on this?
