In Reply to: I would stop worrying about 'theory' and accept what you have and go with it. posted by 3+4=5 on December 26, 2016 at 20:24:16:
I agree with much of what you are saying. I do not have much confidence in the quality of the headphones they use for the test. There was another issue that really bothered me during the test. I could actually hear my own breathing and other random body noise such as swallowing, etc.
These extraneous sounds were very distracting to me and I told the audiologist that. Of course, she had no reply. Many times it appeared they were masking the test signals. I am not really confident I accurately reported what was intended to be heard as a result.
I also fully agree with you on demonstrated and detectable changes after a new equipment acquisition. Last year I replaced a 20 year old Wadia DAC with the Berkeley Reference and TARA Labs RS-1 interconnects with the very pricey Zero Evolutions. Both times the changes were dramatic and not subtle at all. I could list the differences each time without hesitation and I was very pleased with my choices.
The brain may be compensating for any differences or shortcomings in our senses. That would help to explain why both you and I can still detect the defintion changes you mention.
