It does make me laugh when people blithely accept ABX blind testing as the _only_ way to critically evaluate audio components. In what sense is an ABX test anywhere near approaching the way we listen to music for pleasure? Listening to 30 second snippets of music over and over again is not going to help you determine the sonic characteristics of a DAC/amp or whatever. This is not the Pepsi Challenge! You might not like it because it doesn't conform to rigorous scientific methodology, but what is scientific about listening to music? -- browellm Transporter >> Kondo M7 >>Art Audio Quintet, Border Patrol PS >> Living Voice IBX/R2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ browellm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14260 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60169 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
