You're the one who brought up the issue of acclimatization to dialect. Now you are abusing me and the discussion again, by first introducing the irrelevant issue of acclimatization to dialect. Then you are abusing me because you now think it is irrelevant. Now, that's abuse! Or is it mere stupidity or being so trapped in your bogus viewpoint that you can't see the relevant facts? Can't you think straight and stick to a topic? You also abuse me by claiming that I didn't get your question when my reply shows that I did. Why did you bring up acclimatization to dialect when the discussion was about acclimatization to quality of audio reproduction? I think it was your usual malevolence towards science. I take it that the instructional piece about experimental design was way over your head. It's application to your situation is that one would try to make dialect acclimatization factors irrelevant in any experiment that tried to study acclimatization to different kinds or degrees of flawed reproduction. IOW, if there are dialect problems, you repeat the experiment series several times so that dialect acclimatization averages out, or better still you use talkers and listeners that are pre-acclimatized, that is are familiar with or native users of any of the dialects that are involved. In the US dialects seem to cover far larger geographic areas than Europe, so finding speakers and listeners that are native speakers and therefore native listeners of the same dialect is usually pretty easy. There may be a hidden problem as some Americans jump back and forth between two dialects, and for example use one dialect at work and the other in the home and neighborhood. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
