Sorry for derailing spamming the tread ,more ramblings on my favourite subject.....
I forget to mention simple probability , the human factor is simply more likely to be the explanation . That is taken into account with blind testing . Some other explanations concerning unmeasurable differences ? That you still can hear ? and all kinds very imaginative stuff is simply unprobabable . Another pow is that the human fuzz factor is larger than the thing you try to " measure " by an order of magnitudes . When dealing with these small things . A sure telltale of human bias is if if someone experiences very large differences subjectively when the measured difference either is very small or don't exist . It is a simplification to say that sigthed testing or "wrong" but you can't know if they are rigth ? They actually don't have any information about the subject due to the method error . You can be testing a perfectly valid thing with real differences sigthed and still get useless results . But on the other hand one should not be to grumpy :) subjective bias is actually working for the Touch ,audiophiles can embrace and accept this lump of plastic if they are allowed to "tune it" . Thus saving them loads of $$$ . The real secret in audio is that if one omits speakers and turntables is that : "Low distortion low noise electronics with a flat frequency response sound the same " . The caveat for power amps is that should be driven inside their specs for this to be true which they rarely are . And thier impedance should not affect the speaker wich is not always the case either ( tube output transformer anyone ) Modern inefficient speakers uses more peak power than you migth think so that 25w thing is clipping for sure . So it's no mystery why some suddenly revels over the fact that the flimsy litle Touch sounds almost as good as [ insert random high end posh hifi ] of course it does how could it not ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96488 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
