AA critics asylum. also, if you were a regular reader of tas, you would have read similar things. in the most recent issue of tas, kevin voecks of harman int'l mentions it numerous times.

i will say that i would probably participate in such if asked given that all the necessary parameters and required equipment and procedures were in place. its doubtful to me that a situation like that would present itself very often. of course, living close to northridge california increases that likelihood.

but even then, such things as 'performance anxiety' can enter the equation. havent you ever had a hearing test in one of those soundproof booths? sometimes you think you hear tones when there ARE none, and then you feel silly, and thats not even a DBT.

i wonder if harman employees welcome or dread participation in the tests. i may suggest to the leadership of the LA/OC audio society to approach harman about a dbt experiment. who knows, it could be with speakers or electronics, they make both.
