Hi Audiofeil,
What kind of subliminal powers are you talking about? This was a blind test and the participants didn't know which brand they were voting for. Are you saying that by some psychic power the participants actually knew subliminally which player was APL's and that that subliminal knowledge somehow overpowered what they heard?
According to Ctm_cra, Alex did not provide commentaries during the comparisons, did not vote, and was not involved in the set up. Even if Alex was able to recognize when his player was playing, how did his mere presence communicate subliminally to the participants how to vote in a blind vote? Are you saying his mere presence alone could produce 7 votes for APL to Meitner's 3 on Redbook, and an "SACD blowout" in APL's favor? That doesn't sound reasonable to me, but if you have some expertise in this area, please enlighten us with an explanation of your particular notion of subliminal powers.
Best Regards,
John
Perhaps, but subliminally or not, his presence is influential despite their best efforts to absolve themselves from it. It's simple human nature.
