I think it can re-enforce the expectation bias that the test cases show no difference or do show differences. However the idea behind the test is that you don't know which test case you are voting on, so it should not influence the specific results within a test other than to amplify/reduce your expectation to record differences... I should come clean on one thing (which I believe I stated before): Test #1 has no significant differences and is the control Test #2 does do something which I reasoned would potentially have an impact on the sound in a similar way to buffer tuning/prioritisation of tasks I wrote the test app as I thought I could tell the difference with my mod, but then with the test app I was not so sure... Lets see if any more results for test 2 show any significant results. -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93583 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
