5/5 is marginal - it would probably not be regarded as significant even under properly controlled conditions by most researchers. Are you able to listen to music from a computer over a decent quality system? If so, I suggest foobar2000 with the ABX plugin. It allows you to switch back and forth instantaneously without restarting the track, it lets you compare known A and B to unknown X (which is superior to A/B), and it also keeps track of your record. I was able to ABX 320 vs. wav using it, but only on a track I knew exhibited MP3 compression artifacts particularly clearly, and only after some practice using lower qualities. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51021 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
