I think the major concern with triangle testing is that if you have a person assisting in the testing (switching cables or whatever) who knows which test sample is which, it is much easier to (inadvertently) signal "this one is the special one" (for example by a changed breathing pattern). Signalling "this one is the same as A, not B" is much harder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Julf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98828 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
