I believe that the bar for avoiding false positives in double blind testing is higher than commonly appreciated and would certainly closely scrutinize any audio experiment's methods sectionI am puzzled by the leap to explanations involving "ultrasonic hearing" (by current standards of 20-25 KHz upper limit) when established amplitude variation detection limits can explain Mr Curl's filter difference example and should be considered in this experiment's analysis as you point out
Does anyone here (now that jj has left) know enough to state that these results are "unexpected" in light of current understanding of nonlinear mechanisms in the ear
(i gots my dB's wrong, but not enough to invalidate the point; -0.1 @ 5.4 KHz, and -0.5 dB @ 12 KHz are expected to be audible differences)
