Linear Phase vs Minimum Phase Listening Test

Too bad he left out apodizong, which I prefer.

I know from my own personal preference I enjoy listening to filter/co-efficient that takes into consideration some form of minimum phase co-efficient (can still be close-ish to linear such as Wadia and MBL) ; seems I notice this more obviously on drums-cymbals-etc and sibilance, and more subtly some perceived "unnaturalness" for reverb-ambient phase-etc, other aspects would be much more subjective in terms of overall listening.

Keith Howard has done a lot of investigation-articles regarding digital filters/distortion/hires/etc and also developed his own analysis tools in many instances.
Good example of one article relates to Digital filtering (which is applicable to both oversampling-interpolation and also reconstruction).

Edit:
LOL somehow missed while reading Archimago blog that he also mentions Keith Howard, also just want to say ringing is fundamentally time domain.

Also just to add,
the biggest issue I see with this test is that the listeners will be using their own DACs and unfortunately this means the test becomes muddled IMO because these also have their own interpolation and reconstruction filters.
The number of DACs that the engineers actually control both interpolation and reconstruction filter are in the minority because most DACs use the integrated functions provided on the DAC chip by the manufacturer that can be rather limited in capability-function (one aspect is hardware limited resources in this situation) or only defaults have been applied.
Only way around this is to use Archimago's filter design with a PC and software that has same or can import those filter co-efficients.

Maybe I am missing something *shrug*.
