| Room Treatment suppliers Thanks Hilde. | |
| Memory foam as bass treatment? Thanks Hilde for the mention of RealTraps. To answer the original question, memory foam is not suitable for acoustic treatment. Like mattress foam and packing foam, memory foam is closed cell. Real acoustic foam is called open cell, and tiny fissu... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph incredibly said to me: " I recommend you get an oscilloscope and look at what waveforms look like. A 'scope allows you to do that."LOL. Okay, I totally got it now, you win. :->) | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I don't know what a "bent" transfer function is, but I'd need to know the specifics of the test. What frequencies, what levels, what amounts of each distortion type, and so forth. I know you can do the opposite: create more IMD than THD using a "f... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph said: " You can have a fair amount of THD and still have relatively low IMD figures."I doubt it, though I'll be glad to be proven wrong! | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? agear, I’m glad you asked about harmonics in the context of music. Before I made my last post above I checked my Musical Notes chart to see how out of tune various harmonics are. Here’s the chart which shows a tempered scale, though that’s what ev... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph, I read your posts several times. You didn't describe a test you're willing to take. Rather, you wasted several paragraph explaining why it's impossible to devise such a test: Your cassette deck needs new rollers, a special platform must be ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ralph, this is very simple, and you have danced around it repeatedly:If the "digital" artifacts you refer to are loud enough to be audible, then how come they don't show up in a standard FFT measurement? Or in a standard THD test that nulls the te... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Yes, thanks Ralph, Merry X’s and Happy Holidays to all of you. Even the haters. I never get angry about this stuff. Really. I mostly just enjoy the challenge of explaining things to those who are clearly reluctant to learn. So this is my last comm... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? LOL, the anger and hostility here is outstanding. But not to worry, I won't be here for too much longer. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? BTW Ralph, you don’t have to keep saying stuff like "You don’t seem to understand." I’m certain there’s much here that you don’t understand, but I don’t feel the need to insult you by using such language. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Also, Ralph, I’ll be glad to entertain any test you care to describe that will prove you can hear what you claim. Please, let’s do this and settle it for once and for all. You owe it to your fans here to truly prove your case. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? No Ralph, my test is exactly right on the money. I'm sorry you can't see that. If you were here I'd play the various clips for you blind, and I am absolutely certain you would not be able to identify which clips are "clean" and which have the buri... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? agear, I’m not willing to read 11 pages of Stereophile blather. Can you quote the one or two key paragraphs here?Below is one test that proved people are unable to identify a 44/16 "CD quality" bottleneck inserted into a "high resolution" playback... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? You may or may not hear very soft artifacts, depending on their makeup and what else is playing at the same time. But you can measure them, and you can ask people to identify them in a blind test. So again, this is not unknowable or even difficult... |
