There is a very well established scientific methodology which is ABX and double blind studies.
They allow to establish if a group of people can reliably identify and perceive an objective difference between two things, outside of measurements.
The neat thing is that, when applied to audio, it also encompasses our ears and brain.
The less nice aspect is that these are very tedious exercices which most people don’t like/bother to do.
Those are not very popular amongst audiophile circles nor the audiophile industry and I leave it to the reader to pick is favorite explanation why they are not.
