| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? One, really low bass is non-directional. We sense almost nothing but volume. Another one, really high ultra-sonic frequencies. We cannot hear these at all! At least not on a hearing test playing only these frequencies, we hear nothing. I ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? In a broad sense, the topic is devoted to audio anomalies that cannot be explained from the point of view of ordinary physics. got it There is a lot to audio that you can not measure at all, I don't disagree with the overall idea of that, ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? if you start with a flawed premise you often end up with a flawed conclusion.That is certainly true. My point was, perhaps it was obvious, the thread started with a declaration that the human ear/brain isn’t able to resolve changes below .3 dB, wh... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? The smallest step-change in amplitude that can be detected by ear is about 0.3dB for a pure tone. In more realistic situations it is 0.5 to 1.0dB'". This is about a 10% change. (Harris J.D.) if you start with a flawed premise you often end up w... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? they have the same checksum. This is an absolutely indisputable proof of their similarity no matter what you call these files and no matter how you created them. I am assuming you mean identical rather than similar, but in any case a checksum doe... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Wire directionality in an alternating current (AC) application? How interesting. This is a very common misconception. This is not about current, which is also commonly misunderstood as a "flow of electrons." Electrons do not flow down a wire li... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts The 4 point 14 has been here for a few days. No regrets even though it is about $1000 an inch more than the 11. “ substantial and satisfying “ sums it up. The arm just seems to be in control. I know blacker background is a tired cliche but best I ... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts I was having problems finding the compliance measurement for the SoundSmith Sussurro ES. and even if you find it you are relying on somebody else measuring it accurately, along with the difference in how it is typically done in Japan vs. elsewhere... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts we have to stay conscious of what really is happening down there. to a point... , that is all well and good, the math is interesting, but as you know there is ultimately only one thing that matters... how does it sound?No amount of theory and o... | |

| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks remastered BluRay audio discs, I looked around and don't find BluRay discs of the titles you listed... DVD of "Whole Lotta Love" ?? The Beatles?? Where do you get them?what are you playing them on? Home theater ?thanks | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts Agree with @artemus that there might be small differences define "small".. ..are you speaking from experience or from what you’ve read?seems to me if the goal is to be the best that it can be then you are potentially leaving something behind if yo... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts FWIW "I think" the 11 will outperform the 9 and I hope the 14 will outperform the 11 because my 4 point 14 will be here next week and the difference in $$ is substantial. Everything you read says longer is betterCurrently have a DP6 and a DP8 both... | |
| Where to rent 4k Blu-Ray Discs Online? A bit more of a hassle, but I buy them on eBay and then sell them when I get tired of them. Most aren’t that expensive to begin with and even if you lose money it probably won’t be more than the cost of a rental, assuming you could actually rent t... | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks I do find it interesting that several people have posted comments along the lines of..... I love this song but it is a poor recording (too bright or muffled or whatever) so if your system makes it sound OK then your system is working properly. I d... |
