DBT=NFG
"Steven Sullivan" wrote in message ... just a reminder to those prone to 'forget' -- or who are just plain ignorant of them in the first place -- It is true that sighted comparisons can induce biases, although those of us who try to be ruthlessly unbiased can minimize them. Unfortunately, while ABX might appear to be an acceptable replacement for sighted testing, it has been conclusively shown that it tends to reduce perceptual acuity. Perhaps, in the future, double blind testing for audio equipment will be refined to produce the same acuity as sighted testing. The problems appear to be with fatal flaws in the specific procedures used, not the general concept of blind testing. Until that day, sighted testing will continue to rule in the audiophile community, regardless of what the clueless, brain and ear damaged contingent of borgs want to say. Sighted testing Rules! |

So what? How does that make them invalid for doing so? Just because something isn't done, doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, or can't be done. |

" Our beloved Abx has come on hard times. It is getting to be common knowledge that it has not been validated by basic research and that it appears to obliterate rather than uncover the differences between audio components performing music. What do we do now? Let's smuggle it back in in camouflage- let's pretend it is just DBT- what could be more respectable?." Or are they really giving up the indefensible? Reality knocking at the door at last? Ludovic Mirabel . |

It certainly reveals that you are the Village Idiot, Mikey McKelviphibian. Audiophiles do not use it, have no interest in it, and it is doubtful that we ever will. What do we do now?
