My opinion is that noise from clothing or other audible clues were not probable. The music was playing at about 86db measured at the primary listening position, and I'm pretty sure most were intent on listening to the music (and not focused on listening for other peoples' physical movements). The listening room is 19ft x 42ft, so I don't think that a half-dozen arms being raised simultaneously is going to affect the room acoustics so noticeably). > Did anyone express afterwards what they actually perceived to be the > difference? Yes. The comments were fairly consistent, too. The comments were mostly about noise-floor and nuance. However, there were a couple of people who simply said they didn't hear any differences. > P.S: You could try having one or two being in on a test by raising their > hands without any change happening, just to see what will happen. That's a cool idea. I will try it next time I have the opportunity! > P.P.S: Did you run a test where no change happened at all? No, but I did vary the point in which the tweak was implemented. The first time was about 20 seconds into the track, and another time was about 40 seconds into the track. I don't remember the specifics of the other 2 trials because this was done a couple of months ago. -- 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=32466 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
