| frequency range for instrument vs speaker How did that happen? The Audiogon gremlins strike again. I didn't resubmit that post. Nonetheless, sorry. | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker ****If the article is correct, only wind and string instrument can create undertone. ****Yes, and we all know how authoritative Wikepedia is. And no, not just those instruments can create undertones. The Wikepedia article is (as usual) very incomp... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker Agreed! | |

| frequency range for instrument vs speaker Not so sure either. If a recording captures, say, a 25hz tone that is a difference tone produced by two instruments' fundamentals (let's say 90hz and 125hz; just for argument, I am not up to the math right now) interacting acoustically, and the sp... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker ****so most likely not something that the speaker would play a role in producing assuming the speaker does in fact deliver the real instrument fundamental frequencies up to snuff.****Some modern composers have exploited these difference tones in t... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker ****Clearly a sub often if not usually makes a big difference but the existence of lower frequencies in the harmonics is not required to explain it.**** - MapmanVery true, but it is required when the sub is used in a purely "augment" mode as many ... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker Ecruz, I wrote my post just after and before reading yours. Your account is a perfect example of what I described. | |
| why do we argue? I have been making this observation for years re other related subjects/discussions and it should be made again: 77 (!) responses to the OP, and not ONCE, not a single time is the word "music" mentioned. We get very personal about our music. That ... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker There exists an acoustical phenomenon called "undertones". Two frequencies sounding together create a phantom tone well below the fundamental frequency of either of the original tones. Just as with "overtones" (harmonics), the presence of these un... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? NOS fish? Yikes! Gives new meaning to the term "stylus hangover". Oh, sorry, I meant "overhang" ;-) | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? Honeybee2012, it seems that making comments that have no basis in fact may be also be a sign of aging; for some. I am over 50, and I know that I and many 50+ yr olds I know can easily tell the difference. Wether that difference makes it "better" o... | |
| Why does my system sound so shrill and distorted? Second Lew's advice, and also suggest that you make sure that the problem is not the LP pressings that you are playing that are the problem. Did you have a turntable before this one? And did the same LP's that are problematic now show the same sym... | |
| Stylus Drag ****But it apprears Halcro has observed changes in speed with havily modulated sections of the record using the TimeLine. The key question is whether or not this small change is audible.****Well, Halcro is correct, but I suppose that the key quest... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have always felt that the notion that an audio component can be "over damped" is a bit curious. I don't believe that it is possible for an audio component to be "over damped"; in absolute terms. I realize that we have to live in the real world o... |
