Just remeber that a negative result would prove absolutely nothing! Before even starting a blind test you need a person who thinks he/she can hear a difference and a system where this is the case. Only then can blind or double blind A/B contribute anything at all. A negative now still provides ONLY proof that the initial claims were false, or impossible to replicate in the A/B setting. It doesn't prove anything else. Please appreciate the impossibility in scientifically proving the absence of something. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22118 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
