Has to be said

Hi,
i been reading most sites and the little arguments about this and that about making audio in this case be more pleasent ot better to any individual. and have to say upfront that if "you" believe its better to you than it is in fact true to you and you only. we are just reletive respondants to each other and therefore nature and the universe.
many of the subjects that come up as to improving ones audio system tend to go into little details that may or may not have "real" affects on most of us. and also be provable with phsics,math,medical studies etc.many musicians and many humans can distinguish alot of these aspects. and they are ALL quantifiable and measureable very easilly. from 1800 till today FFT and resonance,sound perfiliration has been well adjustable from the totally acoustic pipe organs to the music halls 100s of years ago with out electronic fixes, and all these new snake oil gagets on the market. many are always big commenters here on this site.
Its totally true you can "fix" and sound wave with free rocks,walls,chambers, etc. so go for it at a cost of zero dollars. and adbandon all these marketing hacks.
Ive been well into sound,RF,Radioation, Electron manulipation, Audio,phsics etc all my life and all my relatives aslso . I dont need to justify my opinions yet am dignified by holding 8 international patents,2 doctrets and my dad with similar fields.
one crazy obvious thing no one even bothers to mention is the way off standard of 440hz shifted 8hz the earths standard resonance. while all the 1000s of years 432hz was based on real natural happenings before electronics. dont you all care everything you listen to is 8hz off tune and therefore wrong, but you will bicker about a few microvolts noise from an ocslittating wire with parallell wire  hanging off a standoff. itf too funny to me.
yes all digital except one source tunes their DAC math to 435hz to be more correct to Verdi and other great composers.
ive got tuning forks over the audio and above spectrum and tune my panios violins etc to them 432 hz
and need to say again. yes please do everything Analoge
to correct your sound system, its been done in churches,music halls,the great pyrmids, with instruments themselves.
but do not chase the rabbit down the money hole to fix apparent physhoacoustics in your listening area.

ps the spelling and writing is horrid cause ive got a brain injury2 years ago and under go EEG,ehthesographs and neuro studies constantly. where various frequency sweeps are put thru me and studied by the medical and commercial fields.
Im off for now to play my bass thru 50000watts total. and resonate the neighborhood at 8.2 HZ....

From what I can tell sailboat, this was giving too much credit and I doubt the same credit will be returned to you, but I admire trying to bring real science and not a convenient pop interpretation to the table.


Geoffkait.. often I agree with your posts.  But this one is simply NOT TRUE.  All electromagnetic waves are not photos. All photons are electromagnetic waves... but all electromagnetic waves are not photos.

I can't hear myself playing from the listening position unless it is amplified :-)

I get where you are coming from.....I think.  These "changes" mainly enable mental gymnastics.  Unless you have heard that exact performance in that exact room, you have no idea what it really is supposed to sound like, and even then, you will forget quickly.

So what do you suggest to get us closer to the live performance?

The strengths of someone's convictions are a poor indicator of the strength of their argument or position and only an indicator of the strength of their beliefs.

hemigreg,

I attempted to read most of this thread (Not easy given all the product shilling and the cries for attention).

I cannot agree with you that 440Hz being a factor of "government" as pitches were at 440 or higher consistently in the 1800's well before governments got involved.    https://www.nature.com/articles/021550a0.pdf

Virtually every argument for 432 can be easily debunked and most of them are junk science, erroneous data, or leaps of faith conclusions. You appear to be a man of science so I think best to look at the science behind all these 432Hz claims. Most are highly questionable.
