Sound Samples for research in Musicology of Sound Production

[Schallfeldwebel]

To all who are interested in classical music, sound and recording. I am writing a paper for my musicology study, and need to collect data for evaluating my research questions. If you click on the link you can down load 8 pairs of sound samples, and I want to know from you which of each pair sounds to your opinion the best. Use the sound equipment you are used to, speakers, headphones, you may decide. Don't use equipment you do not know well, and do not change the volume in between the A and B sample. If you cannot hear a difference, write AB as answer.

The answers you can PM to me. If you like you can comment your choices. Thank You very much !

NB. It is interesting for me to know what kind of listener you are, audiophile or general music listener, (prof) musician, recording-engineer/producer and what kind of equipment you used.

The total amount of music time is about 20 minutes, but if you zap through the samples you could do the test in 5 to 10 minutes. It is not difficult, anyone can do it, it's not about testing your equipment or your ears. I do not tell you more now, since the test should be taken unbiased. You can send your answers by PM on this forum. Later I will tell you what is what. esp. for the people at the R2R forum this is a funny survey. Thank You in advance, Erik.
