DBT free zone here on Head-Fi. While it sounds like a good idea, I don't agree with it. Far too often the pressure of figuring out whether or not the evaluator actually made any changes or not causes people to freeze up. A more relaxed environment where they would change cables, even between 3 or so, to see if someone could pick up any differences would be agreeable. Knowing that this was cable 1, 2, or 3 would help you keep track of how they sounded different. I use the same piece of music and go through it taking notes on everything I can hear, placement of instrument, realism of instruments, cohesiveness, strigency, etc. Once I have listened to it enough to get an idea of how it sounds, I then change over to anothe rcable and repeat the process ASAP. This eliminates certain parts of subjectivity, but can never remove it.
Originally posted by RobertR ok then how about a blindfold listening test in which the same cable is used but one has the insukation stripped off |
