With some experience it starts to get easier to know when you can trust your perception and when not. If you're actually interested, try a computer based ABX program (like foobar2000 with the ABXY plugin), and see whether you can tell 320 kb/s MP3 from lossless, say. Once you start to recognize how often you can be wrong, and how easy it is to fool yourself into thinking you hear a difference when you don't, you may become a bit better at judging when to trust yourself. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33615 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
