Oh no - I am very clear about symmetry vs. phase vs. polarity...I'm rather afraid it's you that is confused...
Please stop irrationally attacking my posts - and me personally - and please answer my question: which recordings show a clear polarity/listening pleasure correlation in your opinion - I'm trying to reproduce what you're hearing but I have no baseline... Or has one of your long-held beliefs (i.e. the "truth" of absolute phase) been shaken? I've spent over 25 years in studios on both sides of the desk. I know what sounds good and what doesn't (IMHO). I also know that my home equipment is easily capable of resolving what I hear in the studio and have first generation "masters" that I use as reference to test this assertion more or less daily. Your posts are getting increasingly frustrating. I'm trying to get to the bottom of an apparent mystery. You are not exactly helping. Changing tack... Yes, a sine wave sounds (very) different as you move around the room - you encounter different interference patterns caused by the mixing of direct and indirect (reflected) sound which manifests itself as varying levels of cancellations/reinforcements at differents physical locations. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 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
