    Error corrections:
    1) There's a typo around 14:27. When it says "Appox." on screen, it should be "Approx." It's not just some fancy scientific term ;)
    2) At 17:10 the 6dB quieter sound is the one perceived further away than the 6dB louder sound

    This really nails the core argument that I make in head-fi and other areas when I feel like engaging. The current battery of tests used by manufacturers to determine if audio equipment is functioning correctly doesn’t cover the full spectrum of human hearing. And to make overly wide or universal claims as to how something sounds based purely on a handful of tests is just plain unwise.
    Of course, he gets into more interesting detail with capacitors and negative feedback, so that’s really helpful when engaging with the ASR types who listen with their eyes.

    I agree with you. When I started spending hours of my day listening to music it was very difficult to listen to more complex recordings like jazz, but as I found more accessible tracks my brain began to demand more and more complex sounds. I'm not an expert in the genre, nor do I claim to be, but there is no longer a single album of any musical genre that I consider inaccessible today. Excellent work. ❤

    Understanding how the human ears process frequency(ies) over time is so important for reproduction and accuracy in recordings.
    This is a beautiful way to explain how important time and frequency are within the recreation of audio/music within our brain.
    Being able to bring out the best in sound reproduction, timing to the ears makes a huge difference. This is where DSP can greatly improve both time and frequency adjustment, for a much more refined and accurate reproduction.
    Thank you for the detailed dive into the complexity of hearing and why frequency over distance and time matters.

  • @ccdccd8615
    @ccdccd8615 День назад +7

    I appreciate this video, but all this detail masks some underlying truths. 1st, you could get the idea that the human ear wants the most accurate sound reproduction. Our ears might, but we certainly don’t. A couple of quick examples. Tubes are not more accurate, but the sound is very appealing to many audiophiles. One reason is that they produce a fair amount of 2nd order harmonic distortion which is pleasing to our ears. Another example: speakers. If our ears are such highly tuned and accurate instruments, why don’t we all agree on what are the best kinds of transducers and speakers??? You simply cannot take the subjectivity out of the hobby.
    I agree with your point about specifications. There is a tenuous connection between specs and the sound we appreciate. Take damping factor. A high damping factor indicates that the amp has full control over the woofer. But that doesn’t mean that is the bass presentation that we want to hear. I can think of several amps, even all amps produced by a certain company that have low damping factors that are so low as to be in the audible range and these products are well reviewed and liked. One of the things I love about Galion is that Thomas Tan isn’t even pretending to make the best measuring equipment, he is trying to make the best sounding equipment based on his ears and his experience. Lots of other companies are quietly doing the exact same thing because most audiophiles, including myself, are not interested in the most accurate sound. We want the sound most pleasing to our ears. And we all have music we love with crappy recordings and don’t want the crappy recording spoiling our love of that music.
    All of this raises some troubling questions for lots of equipment. Let’s take SS amps. If most audiophiles want the amp most pleasing to our ears, specs be damned, what are reviewers or audiophiles listening for??? Are there sound signatures to strive for? Do they change with the type of speakers or other equipment you have??? I’m building a system right now. The tweeter is a compression driver in a horn. Because of the synergy between horns and tubes, I chose the most “tubes” SS amp I could find, based on the comments of reviewers and people who previously purchased the amp. If I upgrade at some point in the future, tube amps need only apply. But what if my equipment had been different? What sound signature would indicate a good match with my equipment. And doesn’t this indicate that, in many instances, one piece of equipment is not better than the other, just suited best for different uses.
    Finally, you completely ignore the impact of psycho-acoustics. We expect impressive looking equipment to sound better and often “hear” differences that are not there. You rarely see any reviewer blind test equipment. The truly blind tests I have seen suggest that our ears are not the finely honed instruments this video would suggest. To make matters worse, reviewers listen to equipment and then pack it off to the next reviewer and to the manufacturer. When a new piece comes in, you can compare it to the equipment you have on hand, but not necessarily against other equipment in its price range or outside its price range. So the reviewer is forced often forced to compare the equipment under review to memories of other equipment and human memory is hardly reliable.
    This is not say that reviewers such as yourself should be completely discounted. The reality is that, for most of us, you are all we have. This is also not to say that you are not trying hard to be as informative and accurate as you can. But this is a tough area. What all audiophiles want to know is how this piece of equipment will perform for my ears with my other equipment in my room to produce the sound signature most pleasing to me. That is the bar. This video on the complexity of our ears doesn’t change the fact that we are FAR from coming any where close to clearing this bar.

    • @PassionforSound
      @PassionforSound  День назад

      A lot of what you're talking about is the harmonic makeup of the sound, but what the studies discussed in this video tell is that the timing of the sound is more important.
      If you take it a step further, tubes don't switch like transistors so they're going to have less timing issues (although capacitance may be a factor).

    • @ccdccd8615
      @ccdccd8615 21 час назад

      @ Class A solid state amps do not switch. Topologically, this is the advantage of Class A over Class AB and Class D. Push pull tube amps do switch. My understanding is that they switch like Class AB solid state amps.

    Spectral Audio is one company that has a design approach that includes a consideration of the aspects of human auditory perception together with GEP (Good engineering practice). They have been producing high speed, ultra-wide bandwidth amplifiers since the 70’s. These high slew-rate designs help preserve the critical timing cues within the audio signals. There is an interesting interview with Richard Fryer from Spectral Audio on the Alpha Audio channel. The guru behind the engineering team is Keith O Johnson. The Rocky Mountain International Audio Fest channel has a video entitled RMAF10: High Resolution from the Masters. The key topic is high resolution digital, but his talk covers far more: jitter, signal timing, cables, hidden feedback mechanisms, power supply coupling, grounding, and isolation, etc.

    Another aspect that degrades sound is vibration. The microphonic aspect of electronic components cannot be underestimated. Vibration introduces sonic disruption some of which is in the time domain.

    • @PassionforSound

      Absolutely! Vibration can affect clocks in DACs and (I assume) transistors in amps/preamps. Once we realise how sensitive our ears are, some of these seemingly fringe tweaks start to make a lot of sense.

    Capacitance Issues. Yes! And the issues…the effects on our hifi systems, they come from everywhere. Did you ever try meticulously brushing every cable and component, also every wall and table near them with one of those grounding brushes they make for cleaning records? You must try this! As a side note, ever play a Theremin? I have one and can’t really play any music on it but what a fun use of capacitance from our own human bodies. This great electrical fun!!

      That's very interesting about the grounding brush. It sounds like voodoo, but I'd believe anything with an influence over noise and capacitance could have a noticeable impact.

    These phenomena can account for perceived differences among audio systems and superior audio equipment may provide opportunities for potential additional perceptions. However, there are no guarantees because another function available to the brain is sensory gating, which allows it to ignore certain details if it so chooses. Nevertheless, that is the prerogative of the brain, not of the reproduction equipment.

      That's a slightly different phenomenon I think, and not one I've explored yet.

    Seriously well done... talking about grasping a nettle! And shaking it... regarding timing especially. I can't wait to see this video being linked to in certain forums... I think that the 'measurement' vs 'subjective' push, especially with Audio Science Review has been very important, but we need a proper scientific counter balance to 'push' the measurements further into this timing domain. Bravo, fantastique, fantastico ...

      I'm glad you liked it!
      If we ever get to the point that we can measure all there is to understand about the correlation between device performance and sound perception, then measurements will become invaluable. For now, they're really only helpful at identifying major flaws in a product's design, but even then they're limited because they don't indicate enjoyment.

    Mr presenter. This is about 5 videos' worth of information. Take it easy on us.

    Thank you for this video!!I have the same exact opinion about this!!Many of the reviewers especially audioscience........ they don't even hear at all they only see measurements.Maybe many of the best speakers manufacturer in the world are "stupid" when they say that they trust first their ears and far less the measurments!!!

    Cocktail deafness is another interesting one

      Yes, that's all wrapped up in the functions of all those different brain centres and the cochlear amplification function, I believe.

    I love the content on the whole, but a LOT of the new thumbnails are......a decision. Creepy is the word I would use, for what it's worth I'm not the only person that's brought it up. Not trying to be a dick, just letting you know in case that's a blind spot, or maybe thats what you were going for.

    Great vid. No wonder I could not stand amps that used negative feedback. Measured great. Sounded like listening in a tin can.

      I'm not a fan of tier lists. That's why I did my three videos about the best products at various budget levels.

    all well, but only possible for analog signal cables ... not possible with digital signals ... those are either bitperfect or they give a broken signal ... better then bitperfect isn't possible 😂

    • @PassionforSound

      You're missing 90% of what this video is saying and ignoring the fact that digital cables can carry noise which can alter the timing accuracy of the clock in the DAC.
