In Reply to: you got me. I need to retake logic 101. Round 3: posted by Axon on September 14, 2007 at 08:14:16:
you must first validate the ability of the test to answer the intended question. Since one of the persons who designed the test disagrees with the DBT outcome, that certainly calls into doubt whether or not that job was accomplished. The reasons why are numerous and may not have to do with the DBT itself, but rather in the way in which the test was performed along with the choice of equipment, familiarity of the musical selections, etc. Since it seems none of that information was given, I question the outcome because there are so many ways in which to cripple the test. This guy has a track record of doing just that.
Furthermore, changes in mastering have been known to yield considerable improvements in sound quality, in the same format.
That has been the case for vinyl as well stretching back fifty years. No news there.
