Some interesting thoughts on digital and other forms of audio, hearing, perception, testing, sampling rates, recording techniques and more.

I enjoyed the read, perhaps others will too http://www.stereophile.com/content/2011-richard-c-heyser-memorial-lecture-where-did-negative-frequencies-go

Tony, you are a gold mine of great tips and interesting reads. Thanks for this, it's a great mix of technical exposition and the art of sound reproduction. I have a Maths degree and often enjoy the "science" with new hifi product launches. Also I have thought "how would that sound?" when reading a white paper on a product.
He's picked one of my favourite examples of recent times - why does something as technically flawed as a NOS DAC sound so good?

I found this a fascinating read- thanks for posting the link. In particular it contains several plausible suggestions as to the causes of some listening effects I have long noticed. He is clearly as fascinated as I am with the delayed light flash test and what it demonstrates about perception!

Just a brief note but double blind requires both the listener and the investigator to be blind. What you describe is single blind. It is possible for an investigator to give off subtle clues that they may not be aware of that can bias the study.

Pity, I found your anecdote more in keeping with the spirit of the thread than the comment that caused you to remove it.

Glad some others are finding interest in that article at any rate.
