| Amir and Blind Testing In a word we can see the world with the ears, like some blind people already did, but we will never spoke with the eyes...Even if some particular popular idiom say so.... Hearing is complex more than the eyes and incorporate the visual system not... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing What human ears are able to listen to is not CUTTED linear chunk of sound measured in decibels...Decibel meter cannot evaluate acoustic meaning but can help to implement better physical conditions for his experience thats all...What i hears cannot... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... If all acoustic cues are there at the minimal volume, the lowest possible before being inaudible, whitout any loss between them, the audio system is well embedded and well chosen, and synergetically matched... Thanks to these 2 posters remarks fo... | |
| Audiophile Myth - Subjective or Objective for Music No, you listen to "the art of recording" with your own mastery or ignorance of room acoustic translative power...Your small room dont reproduce it translate.... You dont listen with only your gear choices like most people think, which choices can... | |
| Audiophile Myth - Subjective or Objective for Music What we listen to is not difference in digital and analog, which makes no sense at the end , but the TRANSLATION from a recording trade-off choices by a recording engineer from an acoustical environment to another acoustical environment : our own ... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing If you read my posts here in audiogon i NEVER rejected measures... On the contrary i rejected objectivist and subjectivist opposition to be meaningless in psycho-acoustic where measures of different kind are CORRELATED always to subjective impres... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality Acoustic and psycho-acoustic can explain and describe sound perception not electronical engineering alone and especially not only measuring tool compared to human ears when it is a question of TIMBRE recognition for example... Simple but too comp... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Great posts that say much in few words.... Amir and others on this thread are absolutely right: A/B comparisons are notoriously flawed by expectation bias; that’s just how our brains work. In my profession (drug discovery) we therefore use "doub... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing You cannot tune a room by blindfolding each step of your process... You cannot fine tune sets of springs under and on top of each speakers damped by concrete load in my case, you cannot fine tune this at near 100 gram of precise loading weight bl... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Amir limited argument apply only for ONE change... In an incremental ongoing process of MULTIPLE ORIENTED changes like adding multiple devices to controls the mechanical, electrical and acoustical working dimensions of our audio system, and for t... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger Helmholtz diffusers are also powerful not only the very well known resonators which also diffuse some frequencies anyway... It is a tube with a filtering end mouth with no neck and an open end... I used tube of different diameter and length... B... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns I perfectly understand you and i concur with your opinion... I just say that upgrade process cannot replace acoustic improvement... We are not all in the same life condition... Then there isno unique raod for all, we must make our own... my... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger The right amount of balance between reflection which is necessaary at some spot in small room and between absorption and the importance of diffusion and the right balance in the right spot... Diffusers are completely underestimated indeed like sa... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger «Back in 1954, Schroeder referred to the frequency at which rooms go from being resonators to being reflectors/diffusors as the “crossover frequency.” We now call it the Schroeder frequency.» It is the reason why using a grid of tuned Helmholtz r... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger I own a square room 13 feet by 13 and 8 feet ceiling... Not an ideal one allegedly because a square one... 😁😊 My sound quality is so good that my 7 headphones are in a closet drawing for ever... Passive material treatment is mandatory but it w... |
