Indeed. A shame.

I really don't think it was a "missed opportunity" but rather simply not
an opportunity at all. While true believer audiophiles will believe all
matter of things the one thing they will never believe is science, so
what's the point?

Randi did it fast and simple, not wasting energy. Wasn't there some CA
member at Vegas? Could have cleared up quick.
You will read hundreds of pages on the net how bad that test was but no
prove the other way around, only fluffy theories that is agreed on.
Yesterday on german TV we had a dowser that was very confident to detect
if a garden hose is full of water or not. Only after he was told he did
24/50 he came with the excuses like stress but knows he has that gift
and only the experiment was wrong.
Reminds you on something?
