Actually I specifically avoid bringing this up on the Audiophile forum, because that's a place where, by definition, objectivity and reproducibility aren't as important. This is a technical forum, so bringing up the fact that ABX is more authoritative than A/B is quite relevant. Double-blind tests are not some technicality that "some philosophizing theorist" dreamed up to amuse himself. They are an integral part of the scientific method, and have been for decades. As an engineer, you should appreciate that. A/B tests, on the other hand, only have value when testing ...wait for it... placebos. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32138 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
