"You do realize massive hours of testing (including blinded trials) went into the design and selection of PCM and bit-rates related to the CD technology in the early 80's right?"
And look where it got us: initially mediocre sound and the deterioration of the audio industry as mediocre sound removed hope for excellence and directed all the action to portability and convenience. Once mediocrity was accepted as the norm, it was only a small step to sub-mediocrity, with the introduction of lossy CODECs developed according to psychoacoustic principles and "validated" by double blind tests. Here we have the situation where the father of is technology publically admits that he doesn't personally use it and recommends its use only where absolutely essential. (Today that would means streaming audio via radio links or wired links in areas with sub-par Internet access where people are paying little or nothing for what amounts to background music.)
Norm is absolutely correct in his remarks about accepting the null hypothesis. There is nothing to debate on this point between someone who understands this and someone who does not.
