Soliciting input on a blind test to determine audibility of distortions. Please comment!
In a measurements-focused forum, the question of whether a specific level of distortion is audible or not is the key to bridging the divide to the subjective opinion.
Any interest? Thoughts on what music to use? Levels of THD to test? Number of files?
I can reduce or remove odd or even harmonics, or just change any or all harmonics arbitrarily in the custom selector. Here's an example of a generated 47dB SINAD distortion:
This is similar to, for example, a tube Erato M pre-amp recently measured by @WolfX-700 :
In a measurements-focused forum, the question of whether a specific level of distortion is audible or not is the key to bridging the divide to the subjective opinion.
- At what level does THD or THD+N become audible?
- Do even harmonics sound better than odd?
- Can we really hear SINAD of 120dB vs 100dB?
- Are harmonics further removed from the fundamental more audible?
- What type of music does THD affect more?
- Do tubes sound better than SS?
