Search for headphones which help me learning to identify specifics of time and phase coherent sound
Why my search for headphones? At TestHiFi, we put ourselves onto a challenge, to drastically simplify audio measurements. That should enable any mobile phone users for reasonable audio measurements. It should be so simple, that […]
The Sound of Tubes ?
At TestHiFi we discuss and develop ways to measure aspects of music reproduction. Sometimes, working on my own loudspeaker projects, such aspects draw attention. About such an event I want to write this time. When […]
How much quality of a microphone do you need for simple measurements
Simple measurements can tell you something How much quality of a microphone do you need for simple measurements? As David explained in his last blog simple distortion measurements. It is of course possible to extract relevant insights […]
Simple Distortion Measurements
Do simple distortion measurements make any sense? Even if taken from loudspeaker output? With simple, non-laboratory grade test instruments and environment: can we read anything interesting out of distortion measurements? I made some, using REW […]
Flaws in audio at listening position – phase coherence or polarity variation
Theory explanation I found the explanation of Jeff Towne: Its a phase youre going through quite understandable, therefore I refer excerpts including a listening example of it here. It’s a perplexing problem: the mystery of […]
Some new HiFi adventures
A Re-Visit Back to a friend and customer’s place I had a strange experience which I would like to share. And still don’t quite understand … The System is complex and very high quality : […]
Flaws in audio at listening position – stereo channel time coherence
Theory explanation Stereo, a method of sound reproduction We described stereo effects to some extend already in the criteria stereo capability and Frequency response channel correlation. Stereo is a method of sound reproduction that […]
Woofer Size
Why woofers need to be large to radiate efficiently Due to a recent discussion about efficiency and directivity: Is higher efficiency – like with horn systems – a result of higher directivity? Produced by restricting […]
Flaws in audio at listening position – frequency group time coherence
Theory explanation Time and phase coherence is a very complex topic, probably not yet fully researched which and how those issues directly influence or correlate to the subjective perceived sound quality. However, it is […]
