Well, plucking then. As I've said before, english is not my first language. "we can't directly hear "phase" - just as well really otherwise the ONLY musical instrument we would be able to tolerate would be a single signal generator" I think you are just blurting out various things now. Why on earth would something be "intolerable" because it sounds a bit different? Also, you keep confusing symetry and phase. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23759 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
