SMWTMS ABX Test Results

Grundge Distortion Result Correct p less than
7% THD Different 210 / 256 = 82% 0.0005
3% THD Different 154 / 242 = 64% 0.0005


Grundge distortion was created by a diodes in feedback of op amp circuit. The op amp feedback resistors were adjusted to get the quoted THD percentage on a THD meter.

Different The different symbol means it is unlikely the percent correct score occurred by chance and thus the null hypothesis was disproven, which substantiates a real difference in sound quality.
Same The same symbol means that it is likely the correct score occurred by chance, the null hypothesis is not rejected, which means no difference was found. It does remain possible a difference may be substantianted with further testing.
