oups.com Arny, far from being an enemy of blind tests I wrote a paper promoting one five years ago. I know of no such thing. And you know it. Pretentions of mind reading noted. You argued against it off and on for several years because it was not ABX. Horsefeathers. I'm very much in favor of any rational approach to testing. I usually refrain from mentioning it not to raise a hornets' nest but since you insist...: Instead of ABXing the "tweak" in successive trials "with and without" do something much simpler, not requiring switches and feats of memory for memorising A and B and X in succession. Have a friend or a patient wife put the tweak on one side and no tweak on the other of your stereo. You're blinded. Your assistant changes sides randomly to eliminate the room effects, speaker volume differences etc. If you consistently prefer the tweaked side the tweak works. Like it Arny? No switches , no apparatus. Conforms to the KISS principle. Also, it fails to address the problem you started out worrying yourself about, Ludo. Remember of course that the results are valid for you and you only. Who knows SHP may plump for the tweak every time. Blinded. Awaiting reliable evidence that is indeed the case... |

As I said before; to begin with let's hear from De Waal and Fella. that they listened blind to 15 repeats of a musical fragment with someone changing randomly from "with tweak" to "without tweak" . They would have to fill in "like", "don't like" squares. 12 correct ("like it better with the tweak") guesses would be statistically signifcant but 10 out of twelve would be of interest. Now why should I do that? Just to satisfy *your* curiosity? Come on Elmir, you're sounding just like Arny here. I never responded well to the phrase "Prove it!" If you're very sensitive to having your claims challenged, perhaps you should refrain from posting them. You're confused again, Sullyvan. There's no confusion. Richard, you're a scammer. |

The Krooborg whines for some punishment. This is bizarre. Neither of those guys said they intended to convince you or anybody else that what they perceived was "real". Thanks Middius for admitting that you see no value in reality. Still punctuationally challenged, Arnii? All the effort the Normals have expended trying to school you has apparently gone to waste. ;-) /krooglish on/ Thanks Krooger for admitting your head is filled with turds. /krooglish off/ And now the question on every RAOer's mind: Does Sillybot minister to your needs as well as duh-Mikey does? ;-) ;-( LOl, ROFLTMTMOOLLLLLLL, etc. ;-) -- A day without Krooger is like a day without arsenic. |

Isn't that the same thing you told his wife at 3 in the morning, when you threatened him and harassed his colleagues in London, you arrogant prick? Apart from threatening you with criminal litigation for stalking and harassing his colleagues and himself at work, with your repeated calls to NHS and Priory, Richard Graham never said two words to your pathetic ass up until that time, and doesn't even post on Usenet. That shows us how what a sick, obsessed, evil asshole you are, Morein. |

No one said it has an actual effect on the *gear*, you dumb gearhead.
