Any suggestion on how to set > up a blind test for these (and similar) settings is appreciated. > superbonham We found a simple way to do this: 1. Two or more people are required to do the test: the operator and the listener(s). 2. The operator uses the mute-switch to turn the sound on and off and the input-selector to choose the device. 3. The listeners can neither see which device is playing nor what the op does, to make sure that they never know which device is playing. 4. Before activatig a device the op mutes the sound, selects a device with the input-selector and turns the sound back on. The operater may of course play the same device several times in a row or switch back and forth. Like that it is not predictable what he does. 5. The op writes down what he did and the listeners note what they hear (and keep silent during the test). 6. Compare the notes to see the results. 7. Repeat the test with another op if desired... and so on...
Done like that, the listeners can only rely on what they hear... or guess :-) -- Soundman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Soundman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
