Sorry to resurrect this thread (without waiting at least several years) but I was having a look at the excel data form this test, thinking, maybe if i remove some of the people who rated the lowest sample higher then cd it would be more interesting, and I think i have found something unusual. It seems that if you look only at people who rated 128 mp3 > cd there is a trend for them to rate it in reverse order, such as 128>160>192>320>cd . I think this might be interesting because this trend seems to occurs in abx's from time to time.
Maybe someone can calculate if this is statistically relevant, it is sort of getting over my head. |
