Like I said they sometimes state their claims too bluntly, without the proper qualifications. For a more qualified statement, read "Basic issues in equipment reviewing and critical listening: our present stance" in issue no. 16. http://theaudiocritic.com/cwo/Back_Issues/ > So if one or a few blind tests gives a null result, you will believe > that that proves there is no difference? > From a scientific perspective a null result is nothing but a null > result, it certainly doesn't prove that there is no difference. He's not denying that high-end gear measures better than cheaper gear, but that doesn't necessarily make a difference in terms of perceived sound quality. If people graced with the golden ear couldn't tell the difference between the Squeezebox and the transporter in a series of methodologically valid ABX tests, I would conclude that I couldn't tell the difference myself and, hence, wouldn't invest in a Transporter. Although I would like to ABX them myself. -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33368 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
