Re: I think, therefore I think I am?

Hi Barry,

>My suggestions to listen were not about spending the time setting up an elaborate test though. Maybe that's why we keep differing on how much time it would take. My point was to spend a few minutes and from that experience, decide if you want to pursue the issue further with more elaborate testing if that is your inclination.<

What would a five-minute test tell me? That it sounds great, probably. But that's not the issue; the issue is whether it sounds different. Before one can determine that something sounds better than another, it's good practice to first determine if they sound different. If, going by sound alone, one is indidtinguishable from the other, then neither sounds better than the other. That's why the side-by-side, double-blind testing is necessary.

I'm sorry, I inferred that you had some kind of commercial product for vibration isolation. My apologies if I misread that.

Where are you located? If you are in the LA area, I invite you to attend the August 31 meeting of the LA section of the AES. The presenter will be Sean Olive (possibly assisted by Dr. Floyd Toole, at least in the Q&A part), who has done a great amount of research and published AES papers on listening tests, controlled variables, conditions which produce false results, etc.

-Bob
