The minimal number of trials depends on how successfull you are.
How quickly you are sucessfull shows how confident in yourself you are.

ABX testing outside audio?
In the distant past, a friend did some summer work for Mars. His duties included tasting subtly different recipes for food products and rating them on various scales.
The thought came to me that surely, double-blind ABX methodology...

tests involving identifying odours or odour strength, we did limits of odour detectability, I can't think of abx testing being used elsewhere.

Which may just reveal the limits of the current (non-verified for
musical evaluation) penchant for using ABX for everything and
declaring that it all sounds the same.

Hi to all,
I think that here there is some audiophile...
Do you use AAC file on your HIFI or only lossless (FLAC/ALAC) or CD Audio?
Actually i'm trying to make a good ABX and I admit... I can't find difference with the MP3/AAC file and CD... I don't find...

However, if someone continually fails blind ABX tests between lossy and lossless can hear, you'd still detect the other sensations in an ABX test.

To start with, I'm not an expert in sound. I found some way to "zoom" an audio file to help detection of artifacts.
What I used:
- Foobar (latest stable release from web)
- 5.1 headphone configuration (http://www.head-fi.org/t/447089/5-1-headphone-experience...

Hello,
I'm using Nero 1.5.4.0 AAC codec in Foobar 1.1.10. I converted the same source file to AAC using two different settings: q0.38 and q0.40. Theoretically, the q0.38 should have resulted in smaller file/lower bitrate. However, the resulting files ...
