Another way of measuring subjective equivalent input noise resistance


At your risk. Proctect your hearing.


Short circuiting the input. Listening for hiss. Then increase the terminating input resistor of a just noticeable difference (JND). Measure this terminating resistor.


Since this may corespond to a change of 3dB [Stevens] (doubling of power) this method may give similar results to objective VU meter ewuivant noise resistance measurements [Pearson]?
