In shorter words . Perceptual bias is so strong that you really can't say anything by just sighted listening test not you or me .
So a sighted test carries no information about if the sound actually changed . Only that you thought it did which is not the same thing . So measure and do an ABX test with the tweaks that measured differently , you weed out 99% of the duds your tweaking effort will end quickly or you find what really matters quickly . Then the other thing . If I do the the same sighted unverified test , if I then "hear" something and compare to you ? It's then my imagined apples to you imagined oranges ? What can be decided from that it's pointless ? For comedy in many tweaked treads people seems to agree , mostly because OP said what result should be :D To you credit you have not yourself attributed sonic characteristics to most of your tweaks . Kudos . These characteristics when people claims them are usually very analog and and not something simple jitter and emi disturbances could do , you need serious DSP to for example change the soundstage or alter the treble response... frankly the bits can no longer be the same ;) difrences must creep up to -60-70 dB to be possible hea in other words above bit 13 thereabout . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
