On the subject of "ringing"

[sdolezalek]

We spend a huge amount of time arguing about the audible benefits/detriments of stuff where those arguing pro or con provide absolutely no data to support their claims.

 

So when we discover an area where we have data that clearly supports an impact on sound waves, the first thing everyone does is deny it can make a difference???

 

Is audio that special breed of science where data is irrelevant and "I heard a difference" is the gold standard???

I'm more worried about those who drive like their fuel gauge says full, when there's really nothing in the tank...

So, in summary, ringing does exist in audio replay based on the audio signal being reproduced, and the combination of sample rate and filter parameters. Whether it can be heard is dependent on the person listening, and the music being listened to, in addition to the aforementioned criteria.

I think this appropriately summarizes 8 pages of posts that don't do very much to shed light on the subject.
