Nice bit of twisting there ... Let's straighten it up, shall we? So, here it goes: I heard my system switch from a conventional standard of replay to one which made the experiencing of the music 'transparent' to the playback mechanism 30 years ago; only one or two systems of the hundreds I looked at at that time came close to producing that SQ. I have been constantly reproducing that experience over the years since, with a variety of combos of equipment - each of those have had inherent weaknesses, which I spent time on investigating - because I want to understand what's critical in achieving that quality, versus areas which are far less relevant. I change things, based on my experience so far, what I read of other people's experiences, visual inspection of the components, and feedback from what I hear when I try things. And sometimes intuition. Some things make the SQ worse, some do nothing, and others make it better - for some strange reason I keep the changes that improve the SQ, . The changes are related to SQ because they address faults, weaknesses in the implementation and design of the gear - just like a poorly made car will be unpleasant to drive, but can be rescued by fixing, compensating for, and working around the flaws. I haven't heard any of my systems work at the best possible quality, for years on end, but what they do is produce enough of the "good stuff", enough of the time, to be highly satisfying. Currently, I'm very pleased. An extremely low cost setup is producing a very high standard of sound, which is making some of the recordings that I've had for 30 years sound better than I have ever heard them before - not as transcendent as it can get, but mighty close. pkane2001 1 Link to comment

Just now, Confused said: Maybe you do not think that the right measurements have been performed? It's not going to be easy. A tool like Paul's DeltaWave will be extremely useful; but the right set of input waveforms will need to be worked out; and then what the important characteristics in the differences between two noise and interference scenarios are.

The most important thing is establishing a correlation between what one hears, in terms of some type of degradation, and numbers. Unless this is done early in the piece then we will end up with, yes, some numbers changed - but the link between that and what one hears is tenuous. And be no further ahead. We need to get to the point of being being able to say; look, those numbers changed, and therefore for at least some people the SQ should be significantly impacted .

I firmly believe we need to do more to align subjective experiences with what can be measured. This sort of thing is quite straightforward - a power supply should act as a perfect battery, be an ideal voltage source. No real life device or circuitry is, so the circuit which is fed by that power needs to be robust with respect to that - so again, it comes down to the competence of the designer to mitigate against fluctuations in its supplies. The term PSRR, Power Supply Rejection Ratio, refers to the ability of a circuit to reject 'noisy' voltages; and is measured with respect to frequency - and, as is always the case , things always get worse the higher the frequency - who said electronics design was easy! Hence, talk of "transient response and ultra low settling time". This sort of behaviour can be modelled in Spice simulators; and it's quite trivial to observe how lesser circuits are badly affected by non-ideal voltages ... no mysteries here . Link to comment

After all, it seems to me that most of us want the same thing, the best sound quality for money. A while back I proposed the term "lucidist" - it hasn't caught on! What i find frustrating about this is when clear changes to SQ are dismissed as some sort of psychological expectation bias. For me there are several issues in play with this 1. It often happens that i make an upgrade that i am expecting will bring an improvement that doesn’t. My expectation and therefore bias is positive but the actual experience negative so the outcome is disappointment. I have experienced this often with vibration control devices, cables, CDPs, rooms, a USB re-timer etc. so for me at least expectation bias doesn’t overcome reality and my brain certainly does not have the ability to imagine very precise, musically correlated changes that are entirely reproducible, consistent across subsequent listening sessions and with different recordings. There’s a big difference between imagining a general change for the better and actually identifying specific sonic changes that can be repeated, reversed, consciously examined and confirmed across multiple recordings. 2. Changes in SQ occur when something about the soundwaves hitting the ears changes. The brain seems to be exquisitely sensitive to very small changes. Now if you consider that a great deal of our hearing capability is based on the vanishingly small sonic differences between the left and right ears, separated as they are by a small distance, then clearly our brain is extremely sensitive to small shifts in phase, timing and amplitude, so many SQ improvements COULD be based on shifts in the timing, phase and amplitude relationship between left and right channels, but when was the last time you saw those relationships accurately measured? 3. We have actually made very little progress in this regard. We’ve tried to understand why for example some people prefer the sound of tubes vs transistors, but there’s never been any solid research designed to correlate measurable differences with preferences, because such research would be tricky and expensive to perform and would likely involve several confounding variables that would be difficult to neutralise. Research is always difficult when the detector is a sense like taste, smell or hearing and the measures must be based on and correlated with physical properties. Superdad and Exocer 2 Link to comment

A lot of audiophiles have brainwashed themselves, as to what they're seeking in reproduction - they seem quite incapable of recognising obvious distortion, and lack of detail, in what they hear. Which is why non-interested parties, like wives, are often the best judges of overall SQ, . Learning to become consciously aware of flaws in the sound is just anything else - you draw a person's attention to some aspect of what can be heard - a simple one is, say, that the cymbals sound like white noise, rather than instruments. Then you have to overcome their tendency to sweep this under the carpet, by proclaiming, "But it's a bad recording!" ... Link to comment

I’ve just found this and felt I needed to point out that OF COURSE the effects are in the psychological domain…..where else would they be given that the last step in the listening process is entirely psychological……the brain taking the stream of nerve impulses exiting both ears and combining them into a complete conscious sound picture that makes sense rhythmically, tonally, spatially, combinatorially, harmonically, emotionally etc etc. Any changes to the nerve impulses will have a direct influence on the brain’s processing of the signal. Bear in mind that a lot of the brain’s processing is based on minute differences in tonal spectrum, timing, phase and amplitude and in the sensing of tiny differentials between L&R ears. So the question is, what’s changing in the incoming signal to make the brain’s processing more effective, accurate, detailed and ‘real’ sounding. It would only need to be vanishingly small differences in a combination of tone, timing, phase and amplitude to generate quite a large perceived difference. Superdad 1 Link to comment
Popular Post DrT Posted April 24 Popular Post Share Posted April 24 To all of the Synergistic Research naysayers & haters out there, after much defense of Synergistic Research products, and truly enjoying their performance in our audio system, I finally have several of their products that I would not recommend; and that do not work well for us in our system. Their router & switch combination. Both are deceptively attractively priced but after the required cables and antenna, are quite expensive (the router with cables & antenna cost us $6,900; and the switch another $3000). After receiving these, I saw little value in their performance and intended to return them to Scott Walker Audio but Josh Doyle insisted that we give them more time. Well, it's now six months and they add virtually nothing; in fact, the music sounds better with them removed. The other issue we had with these was that we had frequent dropouts from Roon with them in place. Roon would not respond to our prompts for a desired tune and would require a re-boot of our Antipodes streamer to reconnect. I tried different locations of the Synergistic router and its antenna; tried angling them to other positions, to no avail. These frustrating interruptions to our service occurred every time we had our system playing. Now that we have removed them from our system, the problems are gone. We'd mistakenly thought the problem was with Roon but the problems were obviously due to the Synergistic Research router & switch. BTW, Josh & Scott Walker now refuse to take them back, in any way, even as used items at a reduced price. If they suspect there is a defect with these, they are right down the road from Synergistic Research and can easily have them checked out. But... they say they have too many in stock. Before anyone else gets stung with these items, you've been warned. Jeff_N, dericchan1 and botrytis 3 Link to comment

Then Benchmark started making DACs with asynchronous USB input (as well as ASRC), and those comments went away. There’s much of what he wrote I agree with, but an “objectivist” position can be used as another marketing angle.
