well, blind tasting refers to you not being able to see the bottle label itself, not to getting blind-folded. the eyes provide relevant information in either case. but i know what you mean, knowing what you're listening to totally devalues the result because it does introduce a lot of psychoacoustics. i think psycho-acoustics are valid in many ways (pride of ownership etc) but people should be honest about what provides them enjoyment and not boil it all down to being able to *hear* a difference. in that i agree. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47395 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
