No, it is just that I despair of repeating advice that I just gave in the recent past that obviously flew right over so many people's head. General comment about advice - the best people to obtain advice from are people who are happy and successful doing the thing of interest. Does it make sense to get advice about Automobiles from Luddites who damn any form of transportation other then animal power? That is the moral equivalent of getting advice about doing DBTs from people who have spent years criticizing them like say Jkeny. So for example, if you want to obtain advice about doing audio DBTs, should you take advice from a DAC manufacturer who has been spewing venom about the years of frustrations that they have had doing DBTs? Rule of thumb - if you want to fail, take advice from people who always fail! Putting things into the audio forum world, is it better to obtain information about doing DBTs from say *-Hydrogen Audio-* which stakes its existence on audio DBTs, of do you take advice from the TAS or Stereophlile web site that has staked their lives on getting people to distrust audio DBTs? A good place to start on the web might be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABX_test A good place to start on HA might be: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=ABX For example, one of the leading tools for introducing people to ABX is Foobar2000 with the ABX plug in. HA hosts that's author's forum for the product!: http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_abx http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?act=SF&s=&f=28 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
