jkeny I don't know why you lie about my position in this matter over and over again no matter how often I correct you. jkeny, how many different forums do I need to correct the same false claims from you before it has any effects on your behavior? *-A HOME ADMINISTERED LISTENING TEST CAN BE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM ONE DONE BY ACADEMICS OR AUDIO PROFESSIONALS.-* The same people, the same procedures, and the same equipment can be used. The distinction you are trying to make is false and irrelevant. -EVERY LISTENING TEST NEEDS TO BE JUDGED BASED ON ITS OWN MERITS.- It appears that you are attempting to commit the well known debating trade error known as Argument From Authority - the false idea that the credentials of a person making a statement guarantees its validity or lack of validity. This fallacy is discussed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority For example, I recently had one of my reviews of a professionally administered listening test published on the Convention Papers Forum of a leading professional journal: https://secure.aes.org/forum/pubs/conventions/?ID=416#commentbox The general consensus of both my comments and that of several other AES members with published comments and others was that there were a lot of problems with the paper and its tests. This was BTW said to be a carefully reviewed paper with high praise from some, but it also had a number of fatal problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103842 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
