    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    Sorry man! Hahaha. I’m just another blowhard in this big kerfuffle!

    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    Again you are talking about different things than the fundaments of sound. You are talking music. I’m not talking about music theory or piano strings combine to create a Lovely harmonic sound rich in ‘harmonics’or Overtones if you want to talk about music again. I’m talking at the ground level...

    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    Here’s some reading. Seems that timbral identification and speech are related. References: Eimas, P. D., Siqueland, E. R., Jusczyk, P., & Vigorito, J. (1971). Speech perception in early infancy. Science, 171(3968), 303-306. Kuhl, P. K., & Miller, J. D. (1978). Speech perception by the...

    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    Sorry without your understanding of what harmonic structure is you don’t make any sense. I’m not trying to be a dick. A sound can be recreated by adding sine waves of various frequencies at varying intensities. Additive synthesis if you will. It can also be deconstructed to a summation of sine...

    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    Well your first sentence is Captain Obvious stuff. Of course we can’t hear something until we hear something. Just poking. When the Beatles stuff was being remixed recently, AI was used to pull in individual instruments out for remixing so something must’ve been done to identify the timberal...

    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    Your last sentence says that we are in agreement. That is all that timbre is! Pitch and intensity. And harmonics are just individual pitches that add up to create the timbre. Distortion is not some evil thing it is simply added or subtracted pitches at some intensity. Prople here need an...

    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    You are talking about reproduction of sound or hearing a symphony of different instruments each with their own timbre. Each instrument does have its own timbre in isolation. A FFT can draw a map of the harmonic structure. That it changes over time is irrelevant to the definition of timbre. Yes...

    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    Any harmonic distortion changes the timbre. Tube gear if it adds distortion adds even order or 2nd, 4th, etc. that changes the timbre. Speakers can add harmonic distortion as well. Worst offenders in the chain in fact. Any deviation from flat frequency response(FR) is in fact distortion of the...

    What is timbre and can we measure it?

    I’ve never in all my years here read more drivel wrapped in bombast. Timbre is harmonic content. If you look at Fourier analysis any sound and it’s harmonics can be represented as a combination of sine waves at different frequencies and intensities. It can change through the time a sound is...

    Nice pictures of your audio setup

    Temporary setup during renovations. Towers will move to another room for movie watching in surround. Will only be 2-channel in this room after in the renovated space. Only 2-channel now here.

    By any aesthetic standard in any culture these are f**king ugly!

    Holographic depth soundstage and 3d impression 2025

    Well stereo placement of instruments across left to right is deliberate but the so-called holographic thing is just luck. Someone in pro audio told me that mixing can’t account for the effects of the crazy sound we sometimes hear with some speakers in some rooms. Room reflections and speaker...

    Holographic depth soundstage and 3d impression 2025

    No. It’s an accidental artifact of the room and speaker interaction. It’s not by design. Love it when it happens though.

    Does anyone else like FM?

    CKUA is a donation funded station out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Amazing playlist. No annoying ads. Also available online. https://ckua.com/

    ATC speakers / Monitors

    Oh man the audiophoolery even runs deeper on Pro forums. It’s appalling to see the level of flakiness.

    Blown away by Equalizer APO last night - what's next!

    I am using JRiver through Equalizer APO via USB out to a Topping D10 to the preamp. Or receiver depending on what I have set up any given month.

    I like that use of laminate. Clever and tasteful.

    Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

    I have hundreds of speaker images saved on Pinterest. Every time I see an interesting one I save it. Very few have the brand name attached.

    Deaf "anti-audiophile" looking to fix a nonexistant problem... or something.

    The mouse moving and creating noise is a dead giveaway that your PC puts out a very dirty signal overlaid with various kinds of data driven noise. Only way I got rid of it was to use this Topping isolator. I tried two cheaper ones to no avail. Their cheaper model didn’t work at all. Probably...
