If I can hear a change and confirm that it measures different, I see no need to discuss double-blind testing. In the cases where the magnitude of change is great enough, I also see no need to discuss double-blind testing. For example, the difference in sound between the analog outs from the Squeezebox and Transporter are quite obvious to me, and I would see no reason to need to discuss double-blind testing. -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32352 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
