What I can say is that most of audio writers who I know doubt,
as do I, the efficacy of current DBT testing methodologies for evaluating
audio components.
Based on the comments I've seen on RAHE the last 2 or so weeks, up-to-date
knowlege about the current state of DBT testing methodologies is uncommon.
The first big tipoff is all of the exclusive references to ABX, which in
2012 has nothing like an exclusive grip on the world of subjective testing.
In fact ABX was obsoleted for most of the kinds of testing that most audio
practitioners want to do on the day it was invented. And I invented it! ;-)
Seriously, though.
Here is what looks like a pretty good paper on the topic. Looks like it is
more than a decade old so no, it doesn't have the latest greatest wisdom,
but it looks pretty good compared to what I've seen on RAHE lately. Hope it
dispells the rapidly-gathering fog:
