Not sure why the Coke analogy is relevant, though I could see the issue being important to a diabetic. My only point wasn't for the sake of talking people down. Rather, that in discussing audio perception, if one doesn't take subconscious bias factors into account when discussing what's audible and what's not under sighted* conditions, then you're pretending the elephant in the room isn't there. (*"sighted" meaning that we have knowledge of the difference between the items being tested.) The same is true with any situation where we are using only our human senses to determine the difference between items under sighted conditions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98630 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
