I confess that while I had a very small slice of audio information to impart, my main goal was to further edify this already well educated crowd The last man to know everything was a British polynath named Thomas Young (1773-1829). He found a flaw in Newtonian physics, discovered the Rosetta Stone, and was a brilliant surgeon.
But as the Age of Enlightenment caught speed, even Young was lest in the dust. And given all the knowledge that the technologiCal revolution has dumped in our laps, I would consider knowing 1 percent to be an unattainable goal.
But the field of accoustics would seem to be near and dear to the hearts of the people that frequent these regions. Below, I’ve cited a few of the first few hits that Google returned today.
A few of the basic concepts of a science that got it’s start with Pythagoras in the sixth century B.C., a field that has benefited greatly from recent landmarks established by brain science.
The power of this science cannot be overstated. This forum would be roiled; combatants in the lost running cable war could lay down their arms and embrace. “I love this new hi-res.” “I think it’s all hype. You’re not listening to hi-res even when you think you are. And there’s no way that you can tell hi-res from Redbook.
I suppose we could have new fights about who has the fastest neurotransmitters or the thinnest skull to permit sound vibrations to penetrate the fastest or the most neutons in auditory-centric regions but those fights should move to, I don’t know, a medical site perhaps. Meanwhile, the rest of us can study the really important issues like when KEF is going move the new mete material to the Blade? Is every speaker with a Uni-Q going to get it? That’s pretty much their whole line. Strong move.
A half hour is all I ask, my compatriots. Thirty minutes devoted to an activity in which you already have a strong interest. You won’t find many win/win situations like that to often.
