I'm really confident it's a matter of training and preconditioning.
The polarity ABX test is my go-to warm-up test when doing any kind of analytical listening and testing. On some days it just doesn't work...
Number #1 rule of ABX'ing: The moment you feel any, even subtle kind of stress or annoyance stop immediately. You're not doing an exam here and it's not about getting a job done. Relaxed subconscious awareness is the key to success.
I've posted some easy test signals here (a synthetic signal and a music snippet) but I fail to locate them (thanks the useless search function).
But I found my bass guitar signal which is easy, too: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...t-matter-in-audio-no.24026/page-5#post-810375
