This just reinforces my point about the quality of
listeners that take part in these university level DBT
studies such as the Meyer/Moran paper that you are so
fond of.


The Meyer Moran tests were done "With the help of about
60 members of the Boston Audio Society and many other
interested parties.."


(The above is a quote from page one of the Meyer JAES Peer-reviewed
paper. )


Your claim is totally falsified.


The paper also says that they used over one hundred
participants, "of widely varying ages, activities, and
levels of musical and audio experience.'


Thank you for presenting more evidence that is contrary to your previous
statements about the listening panels being compsed of just university
students.

While there may have been *some* university students in the listening
panels, it is abundently clear that the listeners were people of "of widely
varying ages, activities, and
levels of musical and audio experience."

BTW the rest of the sentence I quoted said:


"a series of double-blind (A/B/X) listening tests were
held over a period of about a year"


Yep.


Thus we have recent confirmation of the validity of ABX
testing in a peer-reviewed paper.


I didn't see the peer-review info noted in that paper.


I'm sorry that you are so unfamiliar with the protocols that are used to
qualify papers that are published in the JAES.
