Thanks for the interesting posts. I'm beginning to see why a/b tests are so popular. If you take away a lot of the stimulus/preconceptions, you whittle the enjoyment down to the audio which is something you can measure.
>From my point of view, if I try two identical stereos and the one that somebody has stuck a Bose sticker on sounds better, then I'll take the one with the sticker (depending upon cost...). No point in doing a test blind to show me there isn't a difference - the sticker isn't audible, but a lot of our enjoyment of music/wine/cigars/sunsets isn't down to a measurable quantity. Our senses are a jumble of impulses all processed in parallel in the brain. M. PS. You're all as bad as the nazis... -- InTheBath ------------------------------------------------------------------------ InTheBath's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88345 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
