I don't subscribe to the phony ABX methodology. It introduces its own expectation bias into the equation, increases the stress level on the subject, and these factors in the end skew up the final results. Nothing solid and conclusive could ever come out of that witch doctor approach. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82870 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
