The specific point, and where this thread started, was an
assertion that CD-standard recording captures the whole
LP audio recording for all practical purposes. I had
certain issues with the source of that assertion which
went unanswered; no matter. Arny then associated that
assertion with certain facts:

1 - CD-standard recording captures the entire LP music
recording. 2 - CD-standard recording captures in entirety
any variance in sources.

I felt these were assumptions, and Arny then led me to a
test carried out which I think he feels was a good
example of data collection in this context:

http://www.provide.net/~djcarlst/abx_digi.htm

I cuoldn't see any explanation of method, variables,
respondents.

Didn't find any of that anywhere on that whole web site?

Then you didn't look.

A bunch of people - probably highly skilled
in their field - concluding that they couldn't reliably
hear any difference given two modes of playback. I would
add an important part of context - the thread is about
*audible* difference.

Does that require discussion of all those things you questioned?

Digging a little deeper, there's a reference on the ABX
site to something called "Virtual Reality Methodology". I
wondered what that methodology was all about. Arny
wouldn't tell me.

I would, if I thought that you weren't trolling.


Trolling?! Not playing to the rules???
I can guess the background (in methodological terms) to the test you
cite, and I'd happily it with you here or elsewhere. I also have a few
issues with method mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
