Archi Thanks for putting in the time to put together this plan & writing it up.
Can I suggest some changes? I think you should spend some time with Regen listening before test day. It's a mistake to rush into listening & then blind listening without first doing what I said - identifying a specific audible feature that can be consistently identified sighted. This may take listening sighted for a while & to different music before being able to identify a specific audible feature because the Regen perceptually lowers the noise floor which improves the clarity & detail of what's heard. It's not improving the noise floor that is there on silent parts of the track but the noise floor out of which music emanates - hence my theory of what it is doing. You will know after you have spent some time listening to it if you think the audible difference is subtle or not. I also think you should give your friends a chance to have a longer time to get acquainted with the sound but you can judge this yourself depending on how noticeable you find the difference - I'm just making sure that you don't unduly rush through listening, sighted and blind. Maybe send it to them for them to get acquainted with it too? You allocate the day just to listen & identify the specifics of the An individual's blind tests are given their fairest chance when a specific audible element is identified & this should be the sole focus in the blind test ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jkeny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35192 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103842 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
