yes, now you need to dig a little deeper and come to some understanding of how the human hearing process works. I could suggest books, or likely you can find some universities that do research into psychoacoustics or audiology and get additonal information.
certainly if the results are expected to be random, then a recommendation based on random results is rather worthless. in those cases, the individual will pick out the words or thoughts that they think is right and agrees with their belief or biases.
as far as listening experience goes, when it comes to listening for difference, most people grossly overestimate their experience and abilities.
...what degree of improvement did you notice" from going to a separate amp to say...
...going to a different speaker wire
...going to a different carpeting
...when painting your room a dark color
and wind up getting equally widely divergent responses.
when the results are chaos Shane, a recommendation based on chaos has very little to stand upon. perhaps one day you'll consider adopting a more rigorous and unbiased approach...maybe even read some peer reviewed stuff. it's no fun adopting the philosophy of Eeyore and not being curious enough to try. maybe this is what they mean by YMMV?
