Hey W.C....

>In my own work (wine packaging), we are specifically looking for differences in most of our tests, not just better/worse. Our sensory panel consists of people who, under double blind conditions, are reliably able to distinguish the differences we're testing for. And any test that we or our customers would take seriously must be run double blind.>

...are you familiar with the types of testing done in the food industry which sounds similar to what you are involved in? Much of it is blind, but there are numerous other protocols used far removed from an actual DBT. And some of these may have more relevance to audio than the DBT, as well. A blind A-B-A-B test, for example, would be a blind, serial monogomous test, IIRC. As described above, an audio DBT is most often an ABX-type test, where the tester must match X with A or B.
