[TenTec] Re: Corsair audio

[George, W5YR]

Sorry, Ron, but I left out the most important tip about "on air" audio
tests, or any tests for that matter.

If you want comparisons among A, B, and C, don't be reluctant to switch
names and lie in the middle of the test - this imparts another "blind"
dimension that is more likely to yield a valid result. If the same
impressions/reports follow the same mic even though you give it different
names at different times, then you know that folks are paying attention to
what they hear and not trying to play three-card Monte with you!
