The only two times I heard the F1, I was mightily disturbed by the sound.
As to those null results, I can see three major errors in the arrangement.
First, "In order to remove the F1's polarity reversal it had been
internally fitted with a digital inverter chip (as used in the later
non-inverting Sony PCM-701 model) to interchange the ones and zeroes and
hence perform a polarity correction." And what effect did that maneuver
have on the sound?
"A random series of 20 trials was conducted while Remington cued up the
turntable (playing a female vocalist) on each occasion." And did she end up
in correct absolute polarity?
And then there's that insidious ABX box, whose insertion was found in an
unreported experiment to be audible/detectable to the 99% confidence level.
Oh my!
