because its "audible", "for whatever reason"
Sure it is. An octave below the limit of human audibility is audible to an audiophile, ergo audiophiles aren’t human. Glad we sorted that out!
why is that? how is a phaseshift in the most crucial area "the right thing todo" since its audible too
The most crucial area is 10Hz? Better get on to all the universities, text books, encyclopaedias, scientists and sound engineers then, those idiots all think the crucial area is around 3kHz, nowhere near 10Hz.
the fact that lower frequency has worse influence on preringing, so a high pole subsonic filter is the worse thing todo hence why it was audible.
Firstly, the “
worse thing to do” to what? It’s the worse thing to do to a full-scale or near full-scale signal and that’s what you have at 10Hz is it? As it isn’t, you have no idea if you’re actually getting any pre-ringing at all, let alone if your speakers are reproducing anything in response even if there were!
Secondly, if a high pole, low freq linear phase filter is “
the worse thing to do”, why on earth are you doing it?
Lastly, “
hence why it was audible” is the best example of expectation bias I’ve seen! That assertion isn’t even necessarily true in the most critical hearing band, let alone an octave outside the least sensitive hearing band!
So: What if there is some low level ringing, what if my speakers can magically reproduce 10Hz, what if you’re not human and can hear it, what if you’ve got crappy speakers creating audible IMD from low level very LF signals, what if it’s not expectation bias, what if a box of rubbish connected to ground really is magic, what if pigs can fly, the earth is flat and science/engineers are wrong about everything? That’s a lot of “what ifs” … I know, to play it safe I’ll do “
the worse thing to do”. Flawless audiophile logic there, well done!!
