IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science
FYI, even at the cost of some of the high-end dCS stuffs, I believe their Sigma Delta Ring DAC technology only has 5 bits on the output, because anymore bits would overload the hardware to point of being impractical to implement on the hardware.Ye...

Can heaudio123 AI create for me a chef?  I am tired of my own cooking lols.

When you understand AI learning and architecture you realize in many ways that aspects are much like evolution and happening in real time. And yes, more creative that Beethoven and an even farther reaching mind than Einstein. Remind me of 1980’s ...

If one takes the non-spiritual view then there is nothing about the human brain that cannot be replicated. That is not true. Can you replicate Beethoven or Einstein? If you’re right, then we probably have a bunch of Einstein running around alread...

The brain can detect angle to about 1-2 degrees. A computer can do it 100 times better. A computer can detect tones that are 1/1000 of an octave apart with ease, even 10 times that. The ear/brain, not even close. That is missing the point.  Sur...

First you need a very low noise signal generator with jitter in the femto second range.Here are some basic measurements one can take:1. Sinewave sweep from 10Hz to 50KHz measure jitter in time domain at each freq. increment with an oscilloscope.2....

Gentle readers, I implore you, how would you measure depth or height of soundstage, transparency, separation of instruments, perceived resolution, bass articulation, naturalness of high frequencies, air, presence, and warmth? Hel-loo! Is there a...

except it didn't come off as "funny" :-)   
IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science
The point is to measure some quantifiable objective - before and after. As for equipment, I would need:1. A really good analog oscilloscope that can measure jitter in time domain.2. A really good phase noise analyzer to measure in frequency domain... 
10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts
I can't decide whether prof trying to be funny or just trying to be serious.  Something initially may be cute, but after awhile it does get tiresome.Why would anyone gone through all the trouble trying to prove zip cord is just as good?  I once wa...

doesn’t occur in any meaningful way and hence cannot be measured. Actually, when it comes to speaker drivers (such as woofer, tweeter ....), it has been shown that break-in does change Thiele-Small parameters.As for breaking in cables, it may req... 
10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts
It's getting to basic ... errr ... I meant getting back to zip cord. 
A cable question, sort of...
Answer this:A brand new pair of shoes need some breaking-in and that most people would agree. But for some reason, a cable needs breaking-in seems somewhat mysterious. Shoes and cables are made of the exact same materials: electrons, neutrons, pro...

Measuring process, and listening experience in a controlled environment, are not opposites things... They are complementary... I agree. There are still things that are difficult to grasp such as cable breaking-in, an in which case, people are d... 
10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts
It's true that electrons move relatively very slowly, but it's the electron wavefront that moves close to the speed of light.  It's like open up your water faucet and the water comes out instantaneously.
