When I do comparisons I use ABx testing. This means there are three samples, and two are identical, ie A=x or B=x. I have to determine which two samples are the same. If I cannot do that, then I conclude my perception about hearing a difference, or tasting bottle differences in wine, is wrong. (Sometimes I notice two bottles of the same wine taste a little different and I can repeatedly pass a ABx test, but sometimes I fail the ABx test.)
Your point about listening to the music and not wanting to turn it off is a good point. Back when the ipod was the big thing, I could not listen to my ipod for a more than about a hour. The sound was harsh to me. I had to switch back to simple radio on my car. My current iPad is acceptable sound while I am driving. Sorry for detracting from topic of this thread, but my point is be sure you are actually hearing a difference when making various changes. I am not saying you cannot hear a difference, but using the a ABx method is a better way to validate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114947 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
