Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”?
@unreceivedogma- Changes in temp and humidity, are also mentioned in some of the above studies, as affecting TS parameters. Then too; sound propagates somewhat differently, with those changes. The disparity of aural acuity, between individuals(not... 
Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”?
".....you could argue there is a difference, but it’s negligible, most certainly unnoticeable in the real world." Yet, you’ll debate the directionality of fuses/wire, as being audible, which differences are infinitesimally small. Give me a break! 
Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”?
Regarding Thiele-Small Parameters, which ARE measurements, and DO change with break-in: http://audiojudgement.com/measuring-thiele-small-parameters-part1/ As I stated earlier, "That’s just simple mechanics." "There are also mechanical changes whic... 
which car is sitting in your listening room?
@blindjim - Never was much for Ford, but- ALWAYS drooled over Caroll’s Cobras(ACs, that is)! He had his fingers in the Ford GT/GT40 leg-wetters too. AHHHH, the Sixties(high octane/compression, no cats/emission controls and lead rocked)!

@glupson- Southeastern Europeans: Gotta love ’em. So easy to entertain! Though; playing in all that mud, does look like a lot of fun. But- my ’79 Super Glide weighed 44 lbs less than a 750S and had almost twice the ponies(58 HP), when it was stock...

SORRY!  Small as my listening room is, the choices for a dream car(as requested), were either Zastavas or Isettas, though- I probably COULD buy a few of each, for what I have in my system. If fitment weren’t an issue, I’d have mentioned a nice, lo...

@an10490413 - Nothing can beat the bass immediacy and dynamics of a good explosion! 
which car is sitting in your listening room?
@glupson - The 750S’ added 5HP(over the base model) was a already a scary step, with all that blistering performance. It’s been my experience, as vehicles get fancier/more luxurious, they put on weight(hubcaps, chrome, carpet, etc). Performance be... 
Perception
Perhaps leaving the listening room's a good idea, regarding this issue:  Does anyone else really hate it, when they're singing along with a song, and the artist screws up the lyrics? 
Emerald Physics Loudspeakers
Anyone around Indianapolis, that cares to hear a pair, can PM me. 
Perception
Old rhyme: A centipede was happy – quite! Until a toad said, in fun, "Pray, which leg comes after which?" Which threw her mind in such a pitch, she laid bewildered in the ditch, considering how to run. Analysis Paralysis(long/exhaustive version): ... 
New efficient speakers - best way to keep noise floor down?
Much depends on the cartridge’s output, and how much gain is required to satisfy your SPL cravings, from there. I wrestled with low output MC carts(.25 - .3mV), for a while, with my phono stage set to 68db gain. When I’d turn up the juice, could h...

Phase Inversion, to flip polarity or not
One of the reasons I stuck with planar speakers, for so long(Acoustat Model III’s, were my first, in 1981/Magnepan, until 2017), was the knowledge that they were inherently time/phase aligned. The obvious/audible benefits of which were learned, th... 
Phase Inversion, to flip polarity or not
Hello Kosst- Like I said; I didn’t have a problem, with your other propositions. There are many phenomena, without clear cut, cause and effect solutions, surrounding us. I too notice, as a result of the Wood Effect, what seems too tight a focus(as...
