A Question About Time Alignment
You are correct, all frequencies being played travel at different speeds to your ears BS they travel at very different speed so the higher sounds need to be delayed and the lowest played first BS This is like high school science stuff. If... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
if you need measurements to tell a piano from a flute, then I don’t know what to tell you… Maybe take on another hobby? Sorry @thyname but I am person A in the above scenario. so I cannot speak to what the person B’s hearing. Maybe take it u... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
  When someone is seated at the piano, we are generally not debating whether person A is hearing a piano and person B is hearing an organ or a flute. There is little debate and imagination as to a piano being a real thing, and its sound being a r...

I haven’t read any of Lewis’ work.  
Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?
Amps are supposed to be flat and without color… For HighFidelity yes, but for many people… they like colour.    
Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?
I think the amp is flat and without color Generally I find when the distortion goes lower, then things sounds quieter at the same measured SPL… Some people find those situations to be not to their liking. …Irrespective of whether it is caused ... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
I recommend Synergistic Research power outlets, including their earliest ones which can be had cheaply but I see that they don't match your Australian cabling plugs.  Second best would be hospital grade outlets which I used for 25 years in my pri...

The McIntosh house was located in Bradbury, an equestrian city where an old Budweiser commercial was made in a barn that looked from the outside like a gigantic mansion Maybe that town was not named after Ray Bradbury…

Those people could train evangelicals. Someone could get a Nobel prose if they could measure this stuff.   
How much is about the recording
russ69 I hear what you're saying. I've thought of adding an A+ list of the recordings that are truly incredible.   @tomcarr luckily I like Radka Toneff, “Jazz in the Pawn Shop”, and a few other vocals, jazz and other gendres. The list of only ...

laoman ​​​​@holmz Unfortunately, this is sometimes true. As a commercial real estate appraiser, I was chosen to appraise high value homes in 1986-7 in Malibu, Rolling Hills Estates, Beverly Hills, Bradbury, etc They probably should have conside...

holmz I just read you last response. I don’t know what being on the scale means but I appreciate your response that,,, I should have said “on the spectrum”… In reference to this: He is high functioning slight autistic so he just let loose. ... 
Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?
There is no such a thing as an "audiophile" amp. It is no less "hi fidelity", than Belles, Krell, McCormack, or Parasound amplifiers. @pmm If we define fidelity as, “the output being faithful to the input” then it is a true hiFi amp.   How i... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
We buy hifi for several reasons, what it sounds like, what it looks like, what it feels like and for some how it measures. Most use a combination with one factor often taking precedence. Or just to lord it over others… to be used as a social si... 
How much is about the recording
Well, it would take a book to tell the whole story but there are many ways to get where you want to go. The way I do it is find the right loudspeaker, the right amp for that speaker, the right tubes for the amp, the right preamp and tubes, the ri...
