    Testing audiophile claims and myths

    Right. So that Legacy console was built by API for Javelina. It was the first API in the Legacy series and was built for Warren Peterson. This is it's current configuration and currently owned by Ben Folds.   ...

    Testing audiophile claims and myths

      Of course one cannot. But I never said you could. Something inaudible, based on what your own ears can hear, is inaudible. But out of order harmonics are not inaudible. They actually stick way out like a red thumb. Amps with high THD are discernible from those that aren't. But to say you...

    Testing audiophile claims and myths

      Really? Come on man...    Oh, an another thing: I don't stay up late. I wake up early to talk to my suppliers and customers in Europe and Asia. I fight the spread of conjecture in my spare time.   Inaudibility is not the same as imperceptibility... If it exists within the human hearing...

    24bit vs 16bit, the myth exploded!

      This is actually something that fascinates me about music... That said:   Inharmonicity is a function of naturally occurring sound in musical instruments. It's not actually a real word but a pseudonym for partial frequencies that make-up tone and first appears in text around 1942. It is the...

    24bit vs 16bit, the myth exploded!

      Huh? Have you done much mixing and/or mastering? Level control (fader) is not a boosting mechanism. While I'm at it, the word boost doesn't belong in audio discussion outside of what an engineer does during tracking. Even then you are not supposed to boost, but we do it anyways. You can boost...

    Differences between tube amps and solid-state amps - How do I know which one to get?

    The "D" in THD stands for distortion. So again, how much distortion does your amp have? Also, can you tell me how you measured your amps THD? Can you tell me the fundamental frequency of that test? Range? It's called noise. The stuff that is audible in your output waveform is called noise...

    Differences between tube amps and solid-state amps - How do I know which one to get?

      This is ridiculous. All amplified waveforms are distorted it's impossible to avoid. In fact there are 6 primary types of distortion and each represents a different effect on a waveform. The two primary factors that control an amps accuracy are deflection and efficiency. It's for this reason...
