Well, I don't know of any difference other than the subtraction result.You can do this. I assume busted is boosted. That is about where I hear it as well with 40 db of gain added. Now having done this with many devices you usually get some weird noises and very unbalanced FR in the residual. This is notable for being very clean and even when boosted with extra gain. Noise and distortion levels had to be really low for this to be the result.
Does it count? NO! that would be cheating.
Well that is what I did after I listened, then ABX'd it and then examined it with Deltawave. Boosting the difference file with 40 db of gain you faintly hear the music. I didn't do a straight inversion like in Audacity.
I know you know , but I'm not sure @Adis knows, too.Well that is what I did after I listened
I saw that, but for me, the tell was the phase difference near 0 Hz. The pre is either AC coupled or has a DC servo (it looks like the latter in your schematic).@voodooless : BTW your guess was correct, for the experienced member like you it can be told from a little bit higher noise bottom level above 22kHz.

To properly compare "preamp vs wire", I suggest we need to make a wire with a female connector on each end, so it functionally recreates a preamp including needing 2 more cables.And because you had to use 2 of those cables to connect to the pre-amp that bottle neck weighs double making the files indistinguishable.
The 2 cables removed all of the goodness the pre-amp brings.
Next time you need to use 2x a Nordost Odin 2 cable for this test for the test otherwise it is a waste of time.
Good comments . The "wire" is a XLR - XLR cable in fact. Looking forward for more similar comments .To properly compare "preamp vs wire", I suggest we need to make a wire with a female connector on each end, so it functionally recreates a preamp including needing 2 more cables.
Yeah . However, I am still waiting for the first ABX result with p <= 0.05 from at least 16 trials. I guess that all supporting means like FFT analyzers are allowed .More cheating on a listening test.
I get -60-something without matching (just "Show" button) and -80-something with matching ("Match" button).Don't know what is different, but I think I had nulls around -80 db. Or maybe my memory from yesterday is bad.
These are mono files. Weird that there is a difference in correlated null and jitter shown in the status at the bottom.That was the right channel,that's the left:
Maybe the order of comparing?I get -60-something without matching (just "Show" button) and -80-something with matching ("Match" button).

I get the same values both for L and R but different than yours

Just to make sure,check my settings in case I have messed up with something:I get -60-something without matching (just "Show" button) and -80-something with matching ("Match" button).

In "General" I have "Resample" and "Dither" disabled (but I don't think that matters here) but I also have "Measure simple waveform" disabled.
Ok,let me try with it for L and R with your settings:In "General" I have "Resample" and "Dither" disabled (but I don't think that matters here) but I also have "Measure simple waveform" disabled.
Never mind the privacy concerns...Audacity is too simple
