Once again, ABX tests - which are the standard methodology - ask whether X is A or X is B. First you listen to A and B, then you listen to X, then you listen to A or B again if you want, and you try to determine whether X is A or B. If you can't do that reliably, you can't hear the difference. The only other way I know to do it is to play two sources (either be AA, AB, BA, or BB) and try to guess whether they are the same or different. Having had some experience with this I find ABX easier - you can first identify a difference between A and B, and then listen for it in X. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37553 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
