In order to calculate probabilities you need some kind of measurable targets. The problem with "plausability" in hifi is that there is little agreement on what can and cannot be heard. But lets leave it at that, because I can feel someone will now claim that there exists some "authority" in audio research... -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
