Thanks, sandchak because that's quite a relief. I was reluctant to e-mail him as I'm sure he's busy enough already with the Compass and I don't want to disturb him.

No Problems K3cT, I am following up with Kingwa for my amp, so at the same time I am trying to get info on the Compass shipment, I am very keen to know how the Compass sounds now with those gain and sound signature changes, plus the sooner you guys get the Compass the better for this thread as discussions will be back on Compass !!..

Well thats how it seems to work out there, the courier comes and collects the packages around 9pm, since GuangZhou is around 60km away from his warehouse, they sort out the packages the next day (today), weighing and allotting tracking numbers.. I guess all this because China is a place from where many things are shipped around the world, so they work till pretty late, and yes, must be kinda chaotic too !.

Oh, quit your silly posturing. Double and triple blinding have no bearing in the comparison testing of audio gear.

There is only one type of blinding that pertains to the evaluation of audio equipment by an observer (or in this case, listener). This is simply plain old blinding: The observer is unaware of which gear he or she is listening to when comparing 2 or more pieces of audio gear. In such a scenario, blinding simply means that he/she does not know which gear is which and is therefore able to perform a more subjective comparison as a result.

Blinding is part of the scientific method? It does not directly relate to the scientific method at all. It is simply a way of reducing bias that can be applied to certain experimental study designs.

The only places double and triple blinding are ever used is in experimental studies (usually controlled trials) which involve human test subjects. The last time I checked, audio gear was not human... You probably don't even know what a commonly accepted definition of triple blinding is...

Good grief.

You're both right and you're both wrong. Now please stop discussing it here!!

Jeez, I certainly learned why this can of worms is supposed to remain shut. I promise I'll never mention DBT outside of the "Sound Science" forum again. Sorry for this.

Looks like mbd2884 is evading his ban. I've reported him to the mods. Please pay no attention to him.

Quoted 16 USD on the board to be shipped to Australia, but I can't find a suitable case haha! Cheapest from thlaudio.com was like 63 USD not including shipping >.>

Those RCA connectors look really sweet! I'm now starting to wish I had those on my test-version as well.

(In case some people are wondering, this is not yet the "final version" of the Compass. The new back and front plates are still being manufactured.)
