You admitted to have positive results after numerous DBTs,

How did you differentiate the differences?


Since you bothered to pick up that quote, you obviously read the rest

I no longer have such a device, but I'm happy for anyone to bring

What is your specific procedure when comparing the cables as you listen
from one to the other during the test, a quick plug and switch?

It's your experiment, could you "walk" me to this part-- in a sentence
or two?




In addition, how would you determine whether your participant positively
hears sound differences between the unit under test?




The benchmark is set at 16 out of 20 correct identifications. That's
necessary to get 95% confidence that the result is not radndom chance.



But that's after your experiment when you tally the results under your
conditions.

How do you determine when one positively hears or not, the sound difference
between cables during the test, again, under your conditions?



and I'm posting from uk.rec.audio.


So?




So if the post appears on r.a.o it's because someone else crossposted

Your inanity is showing again. I object to your apparent delusiveness of

That's not ********. You are attempting to cover your lie with

You will have difficulty covering up your lie here.

Here's what Yustabe said in that thread:


" I take it, from reading George's blurb about your experience,
that, before the test, you heard differences between the
amps, and during the DBT, you heard no differences. What
happened after the test was over, and you went back sighted?"


To which you directly replied:


" If you've done your homework, you already know this - I
still imagine that there are differences. Luckily, I now
*know* that they are not physically present."


I was not contesting whether you were comparing amps that were
sonically indistinguishable.


but which I
still imagine to sound different when I *know* which one is playing.



If you're comparing 2 amps that are sonically indistinguishable under
controlled conditions yet still imagine to hear sound differences
when you *know* which one is playing, wouldn't that means that there's
a psychological disturbances occuring between your ears?


Agree or disagree?

What is your specific procedure when comparing the cables as you listen
from one to the other during the test, a quick plug and switch?

It's your experiment, could you "walk" me to this part-- in a sentence
or two?


When I was comparing amplifiers, I used a 4-channel attenuator to set
the gain of both amplifiers to be exactly the same within +/- 0.1dB,
and I used a 4-pole relay to perform quick switching. The control box
had 3 positions, A, B and X. X could be connected to either A or B by
operation of a concealed 3-way switch with centre 'off' position, so
that every time the switch was changed to begin a new trial, there
were two clicks.

The listener has his own choice of sound source, and has control of
the box, so that he can refer to A and B as often as he needs before
deciding the identity of X. When he has decided, he notes down his
decision on a scoresheet and calls in the test assistant, who has an
equivalent scoresheet with a randomised set of As and Bs. The
assistant verifies that this is the completion of trial 5 (or
whatever), and sets the X switch to the appropriate A or B setting for
trial 6, and then leaves the room. It's not as perfectly double-blind
as a computer-controlled ABX box, but it seems to work pretty well.

In the absence of an ABX switchbox (and some people claim that they're
not totally transparent), the assistant will simply change over the
connections while the listener turns his back, and will then leave the
room. Under these conditions, it is of course necessary to ensure that
the amps and/or cable connection points are not visible from the
listening position. Obviously, it takes a lot longer to do the A to B
to X changing in this case, so the switchbox is really useful and
saves wear and tear on the assistant!

In addition, how would you determine whether your participant positively
hears sound differences between the unit under test?


The benchmark is set at 16 out of 20 correct identifications. That's
necessary to get 95% confidence that the result is not radndom chance.


But that's after your experiment when you tally the results under your

Yes.

How do you determine when one positively hears or not, the sound difference
between cables during the test, again, under your conditions?


What do you mean by that? The listener decides when they are happy
that X is either A or B, the scoresheet determines whether they were
correct. It's certainly possible for the listener to record a 'no
difference', but I've never had one do that (out of a dozen or so). We
audiophiles like to think that we can *always* hear a difference! :-)

Of course, *that's the point*. Another popular demonstration of this
effect is the 'false sighted' test, where the audience believes that
they are listening to two devices, but in fact they are *not*
switched. The listeners will still record all the usual audiobabble
about 'ambience' and 'inner detail' etc etc, even though the physical
soundfield has definitely not changed.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but not absolutely sure. Have you
examined the work of your countryman, Macolm Hawksford?


Yup - he's a *seriously* mad Professor! :-)


Shame on you! He wears a very natty line in hats! :-)

Anyway, being 'eccentric' is a primary requirement for a professorship.
This is the one condition I've satisfied for ages... ;-


Ah, can I assume you're at St Andrews, rather than the Dundonian
alternatives? :-)


Yes, St Andrews. Does that set the seal on my eccentricity? :-)

Slainte,

Jim
