  • (Yes the video is a joke, couldn't help it given how sketchy the package looked, but the project is real and I'll be showing more of it soon!
    Huge thank you to Skedra aka vikingweavecables for making this.)
    It's a prototype for a fully balanced Blind ABX testing device with several design elements to prevent the user from knowing if a switch has occurred and what the input has been switched to if it did.
    It should allow for pretty easy blind testing of DACs and amps without any additional help.
    The software allows you to choose how many runs you want to do, randomly assigns X as either input A or input B at the start of each run.
    The user can switch between input A, input B, and input X, and has to determine whether X is A or X is B.
    The device uses truly randomised relay sequences and 'false switching' to make sure that you can never tell if it's actually switched or what it has switched to/from.

    I preferred Explosion B, it had incredible transients, it sounded like bits of concrete were literally flying over my head, pretty amazing. But explosion A did have a bit more warmth, and sounded natural, like it was in my lounge. So definitely A. No …B. We’re they the same?

    Cool video ... and perhaps a useful piece of kit for someone looking to test gear ..
    a quick question apologies for slightly off topic ... have you ever come across a Beresford Dac such as the Caiman SEG Dac with the Dorado power supply enhancer or thought about testing one .. a british brand a one man band so to speak i believe and a hifi curiosity with virtually no marketing budget but making by forum comments very good kit

    is it speaker/Amp switcher? does it not effect the sound quality if used any kind on switcher between amp and speaker?

    • @kanguruster
      @kanguruster 2 роки тому

      Maybe it will affect the sound equally between the devices under test? Though perhaps it's going to determine which signal came from the more expensive source and handle it more carefully while giving the other signals the ordinary treatment? That's what human beings do ;-)

    • @KaneAmaroq
      @KaneAmaroq 2 роки тому

      So long as it's just switching the physical connections around between devices, there is no way for it to affect sound quality.

      it's not doing any processing to the audio signal...

      If you're referring to the asr thread, I made every attempt to agree to a controlled test with a witness of Amir's choice and then was banned seemingly to make it look like I'd run away from the conversation. So... Can't really continue that one if I can't participate.
