| I see the issue with ABX blind testing What proof do you have that other people are really reading and responding to your posts? | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Cool video. Thanks audphile1 for that. Perhaps I should spend more time perusing the internet and less time with cognitive regurgitation. Certainly answered my question about Bode plots. :) But see, in this video they listen, take measurement... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Kevin, I apologize for coming across so harsh. I didn‘t understand your intentions. But I still vehemently disagree with that video. My brother talked me into buying this big Sony boombox last year. He thinks it is the greatest. He actually p... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Another way to measure a cable that came to mind is a Bode plot. The X-axis is frequency, say 0-100,000 Hz and then two lines on the Y-axis. The first line would be amplitude ratio, input over output and the second line on the Y-axis would be ph... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Measuring something is both an art and a science. It is called Metrology. The methodology to measure something is just as important as the measurement equipment used. Let‘s consider an interconnect cable. What could we measure? Well, we can m... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? “It merely requires an understanding of how the measurements correlate to perceived should quality“ Good luck with that. A panel of listeners will rarely, if ever unanimously agree on the sound quality of a speaker or system. On top of that, an... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! So this video, which we are listening to on our phones/computer is supposed to show us how bad music reproduction is by comparing it to a natural voice speaking at the same time- through our computer/iphone speaker. Mr. Spock would say that is ill... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? That’s a great looking room and system. Consider a large wool rug in front of your system. Wool reportedly has the best acoustic properties over synthetic materials and you can adjust, position it to taste. (Aurally and aesthetically). | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Sounds like a conversation with my wife. Ow. She just hit me. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Audphile1: I wanted to disagree with you but then I thought of my wife and brothers. You are probably right. The differences seem obvious to me. And my two sons. Seems like any non audiophile that hears my system expects to be blown back into... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Dwcda: I just went back to the beginning of your post. We have wandered a bit from your original posting. First of all, you have assembled what looks to be a fabulous system. Very nice indeed. Congratulations. Putting aside the blind testing... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Technology has been developing for almost two centuries now finding ways to fool our senses. We hear a human voice from a speaker- a diaphragm powered by an electromagnet that is nothing like vocal cords in an articulated throat. We watch movies... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing The stereo image is an audible illusion. Our ears/brains are being tricked into hearing sounds distributed throughout a spatial field. High Fidelity does an amazing job of making the room feel like it is full of musicians. And this can all be d... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing How is it that we see black on a white projection screen? | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Okay, I played that YouTube video on my phone. I hear the same thing at both time stamps. That speaker sounds scratchy and edgy both times. I think the second time makes the edgy sound more obvious because the guy is speaking saying, “This is t... |
