As it was said, our brain is under the constant influence of the countless factors manipulating our experience of hearing. We simply can't hear with only our eardrums. If that was possible, I think, we would be able to hear very "objectively" and measure real changes in the sound. Unfortunately or not, our hearing sense is much more complex since signals from eardrum are processed within our brain where they are mixed with other data. Try to listen to some "audiophile" quality music while there is strong light directed into your eyes or you're in the dead freezing temperature... I guess you got my point. No device will measure what you feel.
Now, what about things you can measure but you can't hear ? Even my cheap oscilloscope can register some electromagnetic changes of the interconnects while they move up and down. I can't hear that in my system. -- gizek very good music > Transporter > Adcom GFP-750 > Citation II tube monoblocks > Proac Response D2; Cardas Neutral Reference all over ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gizek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34337 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85681 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
