what ever happened to Mtrycrafts and CE?

Since when are the subjects of drug tests DBT's trained? They are just yer average people off the street chosen to meet certain demographics. They simpy take the drugs, report any symptoms/perceptions and subject themselves to some medical testing to prove the results.

I seem to have trouble communicating my thoughts clearly for you. Your comments detail the point I am trying to make. Training and experience can, however, effect the results of audio tests.

If audiable differences between products under discussion are as significant as claimed, training is not needed. Just listen and report.

It depends upon what you are trying to prove. If you are doing broad testing for a general audience, then training and familiarity aren't required. The kind Bose would do. If, however, you are trying to determine what differences truly exist, then I submit you need trained participants. Like using professional drivers on a test track to ascertain the true ability of a car's performance envelope. Not your grandmother. My ability to discern fine differences is greatly enhanced when I use familiar material on a familiar system. The fact that any one individual cannot tell a difference between component A and component B does not mean differences do not exist.

In what way?

Training and experience across 'unknown' A/B/C/D comparative sets is still blind. I think the only thing it may help with is a follow the ball if some component alters the sound and is tractable through any of the sequences that you are subjected to.
