| 24p vs 48 hz or 60hz for video playback? I have a Pioneer Elite 151FD display and a Pioneer Elite 95FD blu ray player. Both are capable of 24p. When comparing the 24p output to the 60Hz output, the differences were subtle.On another display, the differences might be more dramatic. The 15... | |
| "Sound Health In 8 Steps" by Julian Treasure Interesting video. I particularly liked the part about "designing soundscapes." I have done a certain amount of that at home, and found the results to be comforting and restorative. IME, a healthy soundscape has the paradoxical effect of promoting... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" In the course of this thread, I have suggested at least three possible approaches to constructing a listening room, each with distinct consequences for creating the illusion that "you are there." A listening room may be constructed so that it (1) ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Has there ever been the assumption that a photo or painting could be mistaken for the real thing? Does that make it any less beautiful? Why should audio be any different?......for many, the fundamental goal of stereo reproduction is the illusion o... | |
| athem p2 used or anthem a2 new I owned the A5 and I have listened extensively to the P5. Both are excellent multichannel amps, and sound similar. The difference mostly comes down to power. Whether you need the extra power depends upon the size of your room, the sensitivity of y... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" My point was mostly about the difficulty of getting the cues on the recording to be omnidirectional. If you achieve it, I think you also get a whole bunch of extra stuff from your room that you probably dont want and would likely swamp the record... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Cbw I have been giving more thought to your theory, and I have some fresh speculations You mention two parameters that determine whether a playback space creates the illusion that you are there or they are here, namely whether a recording ha... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" A brief interruption to say a few words about the nature of this thread...As Al pointed out several posts back, this thread is full of speculation. I myself have speculated at a furious rate. I just want to say that I do not regard speculation as ... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" I am doubtful that on non-binaural recordings headphones can be said to give an accurate reproduction of ambient cues, or anything else, because of the fact that they bypass the pinnae, and inject the sound from the sides instead of from the front... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" 3) Omnidirectional presentation in the listening space presents in an omnidirectional manner not only the reflected sound that was captured in the recording space, but also the sound that was captured in the recording space via the direct path be... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" One more thing about binaural recordings While binaural recordings, literally speaking, are bidirectional, they nevertheless RECREATE the same information that results from the OMNIDIRECTIONAL arrival of ambient cues. That is precisely the point I... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Your last post, while of course highly thoughtful, I would have to very respectfully say strikes me as being essentially a set of hypotheses, which are subject to challenge and skepticism in several ways Al You are absolutely correct. Nearly ev... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" I think you are correct when you say that "ambient cues" in the recording will always combine somewhat with those in a listening room. However, after reading your post and thinking about it, I still think that the equipment, specifically the speak... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Where I would differ with you would be on the subject of the listening room being much of a factor at all in picking up what you are calling "ambient cues" in the recording. The listening room is of course a big factor in the sound of a system as ... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" I also agree with those near the beginning of the thread (I think Newbee was one) who stated that the recording itself is the very biggest factor in creating a "you are there" experience - a far bigger factor than these other factors under discus... |
