A minor point:  I've noticed many references in these forums and
elsewhere to "blind" testing as if the participants in the test need
blindfolds during the test.  This is rarely the case. A "double-blind"
test is one in which the subject doesn't know which stimulus is being
applied (e.g., they don't know whether they are listening to SBT with
TT3.0 mods or not) and the person conducting the experiment doesn't know
which stimulus is being presented to the subjects.  In much of the
digital music world, double-blind testing can be done with subjects NOT
being actually prevented from seeing their surroundings.  The "blind"
refers to whether they know during the experiment what they are
listening to.....  Obviously a "blind" test of speakers, etc. does
require that the experimenter prevent the subject from actually seeing
the speaker.  Anyhow, minor point.....
