Trouble is, if you don't know -why- something is happening, and you don't know -what- precisely is happening, and you don't know if the subjects are even aware of it, it's pretty hard to do anything with that information. For all we know, adding supertweeters to speakers and moving to a hi-rez format will make music sound -worse-, since then there will be anharmonically related HF sounds from music and background interfering. Or something. Point being, without a good theory, data is useless. > > What _really_ puzzles me, is that it didn't result to a counter-study > (originated from the AES or the ITU-V or anything), simply to show that > it was wrong.

Beware of conspiracy theories. Everything can be explained by a conspiracy... What I think is more likely is that this research is deeply flawed (for example because they may have messed up the statistics, and their results are not actually significant). At least in my field of science, when that kind of thing happens the community just ignores the paper - no one wants to waste their precious time debunking something everyone already knows is wrong. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54077 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
