| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @johnread57 , I was out a few messages ago. I'm telling you that the errors are signal dependent, you are quoting this, and then are asking me to tell you exactly how big the errors are? You know, serious people run long simulations to answ... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? Perhaps @fair , can enlighten with at least 2 or 3 of these research papers he claims are hard to find? A new paradigm with 3 decades of research that legitimately calls into question all current signal processing and hearing knowledge should have... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused 371A is -6db at 23Hz. It does have a potentially high cutoff as it is not intended to be an independently positioned sub but integrate as the bass section with The One series speakers. The high cutoff is to improve integration as a stack and allow... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @johnread57 , I did not present an opinion. I presented verifiable, researched, well understood, mathematical facts. Facts not disputed by those with the deepest understanding of the underlying math, and those able to adapt the math to practic... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? If anyone cares my patience is officially at an end :-) Nyquist is not a paradigm or a guess about how things work. It is not about engineering. It is a well understood, well researched, to this point not disproven mathematical theory. Nothing... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? However, my professors, from leading European universities, and their teaching assistants, had other opinions, giving me straight As on all courses related to Fourier Analysis and DSP. Call me skeptical. No that is not right. I flat out don’t b... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , it is amazing what near perfectly flat speaker response on-axis will do for imaging. Don't let the room screw it up and you are golden. This is the flaw and the trap people fall into thinking they can use room correction / DSP to fi... | |
| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? If you do not understand the technology, or the market, and the market is fairly mature, then the likelihood that your idea is both intriguing and unique is low. Not zero, but low. First job is finding someone who can assess your idea, who both un... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? There is a saying, "It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." I work in the professional speaker industry. I think the above is the best contribution I can bring to this discussion. Anything else wou... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @prosdds , there is value in a blind test, but there is no point doing that test for vinyl and CD. The noise, even the faintest clicks/pops, will quickly identify the vinyl. Even if it did not, you would need 1 of each mastered exactly the same. D... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 ' Paradigm, Anthem and Martin Logan speakers are all owned by the same company. | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? If there is any interest, this is probably the best single article I have discovered that explains digital audio. It is not light reading nor heavy reading. Dan, who put it together obviously put a lot of time into it. It is almost 20 years old so... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @fair , One last point, For higher frequencies, at 44.1 KHz sampling rate, this may correspond to only a few samples. The shape of a quickly changing signal can’t be faithfully captured by such small number of samples. This demonstrates, succ... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @fair For the record, I am not an engineer by training. | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @fair , I believe at that point I provided enough explanations. Your reactions are quite typical of engineers who consider the classic DSP based on Fourier Analysis the only true paradigm. From where I am sitting you have not provided on... |
