Test notes.
Below you'll find my test data. Within any test group, the data should be reliable in a comparative sense. My technique and methodology has changed slightly over time, making it a bit harder to compare results between groups. Not that some comparison can't be made, but that subtle differences between groups are less statistically significant than subtle differences within the same test group. What about test individial driver tests? Take them for what they are worth. Still useful, but the data is a bit weaker here. At this point, I am trying to include a well tested driver as a control for every test of a new driver. The current test bed consists of an Athlon 64 3000 running XP pro with SP2. Praxis, current ver 2.29g is used with a Delta Audiophile 2496. A Mitey mic 2 with it's preamp is used, calibrated both by Dr. D'Appolito and Kim G. LspCAD 6.10 pro is also installed, along with a Delta 410 for emulation. |
