Yes. I'll see about subjecting the data to stats analysis of significance. As of today, I've got >50 responses and hope to achieve at least 150 like I did with the MP3 vs. FLAC test last year by the end of it. It'll be interesting also to have a look at: 1. Which tune was easier to hear a difference in. 2. Whether more expensive gear resulted in more accurate detection. 3. Whether age was a factor (might be hard unless I have enough data to normalize the gear quality). 4. Whether those who felt *confident* that they got it right actually did! Perhaps a measure of human ability to self-evaluate. I'll put more thought into other questions that could be "mined" based on the data.
