http://www.prismsound.com/m_r_downloads/cdinvest.pdf None of the results in that paper are even close to significant, as far as I can see from a glance at it. They look fully consistent with random. If any such differences exist they are extremely subtle. Perhaps the clearest part is near the end, where they test the two discs ranked farthest apart sith two "golden ears", each of whole thought he could hear the difference. Results: 4/10 and 3/10 correct. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39093 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
