Double blind listening tests are tricky at best because they tend to deliver a lot, and I mean a lot of false positives. There are well documented cases where sufficiently large population of double blind testers were reporting significant differences in the sound quality while in reality the experimenters were merely playing an identical configuration over and over and over. Funny how human psyche functions. Highly unreliable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94418 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
