Er, actually, this thread should probably be in the psychoacoustics area. Can a mod move it? Introduction and observation: Following the fairly well received post on the relationship between group delay and spatial effects in headphones, I thought I'd start a new thread on the matter, gathering...

I'm starting to form the hypothesis, that group delay (as well as frequency response; particularly around 8 kHz and possibly around 2 kHz - aka, the Blauert bands) is responsible for much of the out-of-head soundstage (or is it instrument separation? I dare not answer that question yet)...

Verily, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Isn't that the idea?

For years, I put silly pictures on my lab report covers. This was one of my all-time favourites

Hmm. I wonder if this also applies to the stage a130. Ah well - good things are worth waiting for, I suppose. And I'm not completely speaker (and headphone)less for the nonce.

I ordered the speakers a couple of weeks or so ago from a Canadian retailer. I got an email saying, that the speakers won't be delivered to me before the thirty-first of March. The shop owner blames the plague for the delay: presumably, production can't currently meet demand due to general...

I've been wondering the same, and am trying to experiment with specific reverb between 7 kHz and 10.5 kHz: so far, I'ven't been able to find a reverb plugin, that can manage these parameters

Based on this review, I purchased the speakers for 300 cad, thanks to a post by the Canuck, who has a list of Canuckish sellers. I currently have an old pair of Technics SB-P1000 connected to an older Denon avr in a very non-suitable listening room. Eventually, I'll get a pair of f208 - but I'm...

But are aware, that there's a rose somewhere? Lemme think where... Portuguese Amsterdam? No! Spanish Harlem!!!

Last I read, he uses menuBUS and AUNBAND (I think that's what it's called) on mac. ProQ is much better tho Positive. I had not only a lengthy discush on the ProQ forum1, but hours spent trying to find the precise equation and make an easy-to-use version on a calculator app. The differences in...

Just in case you're not aware, ProQ's Q values are not the same as those provided by oratory1990: oratory1990's must be equated to ProQ's with an annoying equation, dependant on frequency, bitrate and Q value: q*(2*π*(f/b))/sin(2*π*(f/b))*√(2).This equation is seemingly only valid for peaking...

Assuming you have both the Buffalo and the ToneBoard, have you noticed any difference between the two? I also have the Buffalo II, with Twisted Pear's 16 bit USB converter and am strongly considering getting the ToneBoard, if only to get a better USB converter.
