Exactly, thank you Scott.
ToSI think Syn08 quoting PIL is really cool, as is his change in Avatar. 😉
It’s a perfect day here .......... ToS 🙂
Kindly a punk version of beavis and butthead!

I'm not sure why one would say this; I find it far easier to concentrate on auditory stimulus when lights are low or off than when there is strong visual stimulus. I can concentrate more deeply into sound in the dark which I would say is the opposite of boring, from a sonic analysis perspective.
Perhaps there is some other issue you have had with blind or DBT experiences? I cannot think of a reason it would be the blind part.

JR's looking a little worse for wear these days.
That's the Dead Milkmen logo, I am sure you know about
All good punk bands have dead members. These guys are from Ed's neck of the woods.
I had the same experience with Wendy Carlos' album "Beauty In The Beast" which uses scales other than the Western 12 tones. I listened to the whole thing three times before it sounded "in tune."
Here's a description of some of the scales she came up with - I don't know exactly what scale she used where, but I only just now learned from this video that she used scales that don't even divide evenly into the octave!

I had the PIL Metal Box...until my college room was broken into and many priceless (to me) LPs and the Metal Box stolen...I saw PIL in NYC many moons ago, love Jah Wobble's bass playing...

I finally listened to a few vinyl records (40+ years old) on my big audio system and I then remembered what it is all about!
Yes, this is true, particularly 12 note ‘unequal’ even temperament.
If all the instruments in an orchestra are tuned to A3 @ 440hz they will be in tune with each other in the octave the individual instruments mostly play in. If any instruments play chords starting either higher or lower than their tuned to octave, then those chords will start to sound progressively more out of tune, and the skill of the player getting their instrument back in tune is through the use of ‘intonation’. String players are always harping on about their intonation. Within the context of the orchestra used as a multitimbral acoustic synthesiser, tunings using even temperament as such, works remarkably well.
Still a perfect day here

You need to listen to The Damage Manual (2000), what Jah Wobble does there is beyond insane.
Damage Manual is Geordie Walker (Killing Joke), Chris Connely (Ministry), Jah Wobble (PiL), Martin Atkins (PiL).
Sorry for the off topic.
That's exactly what I meant, as demonstrated in the last part of the video.
More to the point, all the scales in the video ARE equal (in geometric terms, of course) steps, but for the last three discussed the ending pitch is NOT an exact octave above the starting pitch.

That sounds like a great goal - how do you know that you have designed such a blind test? What controls do you suggest should be in a test that verifies it qualifies as one that meets your goal?
If this isn't verified then how do you know if a null result from a blind test is because it is a "blind test that will not bring an auditory difference out"?
Hi Mark,
I am VERY interested to get your listening impressions about the AK4499.
Please be so kind to start a thread about.
Thanks
Matt
Gotcha. Sorry, I couldn't bare to watch the video. That kind of tuning is unusual.
😀 Now that's funny.
Why didn't you quote my ""How do you listen to an ABX test?" thread over there back in 2015?"?
IOW, you do recognize that thread over at Hydrogenaudio forum since you made some posts there but because I didn't post a direct link here, it doesn't count as evidence? Surely, you do know how to get back to that thread from your computer, no?
Interesting post by you on June 9th quoted below.
Instead of challenging everybody and everything, why not using yours and Jakob2s infinite wisdom and knowledge and help designing an appropriate blind test (rather than offering half baked vague suggestions, like "use positive controls")? This is what quite a few people are asking for ages now.
Not holding my breath this to happen, though, it would be a non-productive exercise for you guys 😀.
An unforgivable mistake on Jakob2's side. He quoted a 2009 post of mine about Meyer&Moran, last week.
