So just to correct my original reply to jh901s incredulity that "_Those_members_are_presumably_grown_men_in_their_40s_or_50s.\"_ I should have said *"**-I believe ArnyK is 67 or 68 - go figure!!"-* Is that better?

Now, part of your ABX testing is the ability for the user to "train" himself by using "sighted" listening prior to the test. In other words, using Foobar ABX we can repeatedly play file A or file B (both of which we know the identities of) & jump between tracks at any point. Is this not intended to allow the user to isolate & identify differences that they can reliably identify "sighted" before continuing to the blind part of the test? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jkeny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35192 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
