You continue with the assumption that you are completely aware of all possible subconscious bias factors that might be in play. Just because something lies below your level of self-awareness (or mine) does not mean it is random. This effect has been shown over and over in psychological studies that have looked at human perception. Audio is not an exception. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98630 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
