While I agree with you, I think it really gets quite tricky to conduct a valid blind test. There are so many cues hanging in the air during the execution of the tests, many of which may even be subliminal, and the test subjects seem very good at picking those cues and incorporating them into their 'findings'. I think only a very carefully engineered and executed double-blind test, conducted by trained personnel under strictly controlled conditions, could really give us the true picture. What are the odds that anyone on this forum could ever afford to perform such tests? -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 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
