Not conclusive, but very suggestive. The fact that only 50% could tell the difference between high and and low end does not mean there is no difference. Example: in one experiment, only 49% could tell the difference between red and blue. Does that mean there is no difference? Not necessarily. Almost all of the participants could be red-blue colorblind. I'd like to know how many of the participants could consistently distinguish between cheap/expensive in a large test of pairs--if any. Either way, one can draw the confusion that most audiophiles are full of shit. I find the same ratio in most other professions.
