Say like EMC testing!😀

 

That is too advanced for audiophiles...

"None of them along the line know what any of it is worth”

[Ralf11]

Wrong. 

 

It mostly depends on age & training, and is no sure thing then.

[Ralf11]

yes, we should all eschew statistics -- also, physics, chemistry and virology

How do you know it's genuine when you can't hear it?

 

How do you know your "hearing" of differences is genuine when you don't test?

I am on about content to 55kHz, wot is the point any modulation of sound within the human hearing range is already done.

I wonder how many real golden eared people there are out there... I do remember reading a paper many years ago and the number was not huge. As for us older ones 14kHz is probably all we can hope for.

 

most characters follow a normal distribution curve - unless there is very strong selection on a trait, you can expect hearing to be distributed more or less like ht. is in a popn.

 

then there is the issue of hearing performance factors other than the high freq. limit (for sine waves)... a spectrum of golden colors if you will

[Ralf11]

it's not that you can't see into the infrared, it's the crummy resolution in the IR that really matters

 

 

if you don't believe me, just ask a pit viper

Sandy, are you posting from Christmas Island?

  just because someone is a math-head they know all there is to know about great sound.

 

 

yes, you need some engineering chops too

 

he does have that, so try not to get snarky - it just makes you look like an audiobummer

 

why not ask a question instead?  

 

Here, I'll show you how:

 

mansr, why would a designer use two different clocks for different clock rates, instead of doing the math (to adequate precision)?

 

is it just for marketing or is there a functional reason?

I tend to respond according to the tone of the post I'm responding to.

 

then it is best to converse with Pacific Islanders, and NZers (kiwis), Mini-sotans, etc.

 

not Aussies, SAers, Israelis, or Texans
