In Reply to: Even if the software were perfect .... posted by Jon Risch on March 1, 2007 at 20:16:54:
...wouldn't the limitations of the sound card and everything else in the chain cancel each other out? Ultimately the idea is to show where the differences, if any, are between the two items in the test. Therefore, it doesn't matter as long as the comparisons are made through the same computer, software, sound card, etc. It's like saying red and green look different through blue sunglasses. While that is true, RELATIVELY speaking one can discern there is a difference between the two colors. As I understand it, that's the purpose of the program, to point out whatever differences there might be between the items being tested.
