Yep. You are literally repeating everything I've stipulated. But not putting numbers to it. All those effects add up to an absolute max of ~35-45 db of noise. OMG that's a lot! Except is it? Known max THD+N (this is all very rough as all sorts of temporal phenomena change this depending on any number of variable, see bibliography)) differentiation of sine waves is ~120dB. Reliable max (given average hearing) is ~85dB. Reliable detection in music (given trained listener and unrestricted A/B) is about ~60. I usually listen at 75dB sometimes I crank it up to 90. How much noise free dBSPL can I access even in the best conditions? Given my noise floor of 25-40 (measured A weighted) how much of the noise of the LP is audible? How deep into the noise floor can my 120 SINAD DAC and 100 SINAD amp dig given my reasonable listening levels? How far given the elevated distortion into power for higher frequencies (to my 50 year old ears). Does that distortion add or multiple or mask vinyl distortion?
Auditory memory lasts for about 250 mS. Echoic memory is from there to a few-30 seconds. Why do those things matter? Because they dictate what we can reasonably expect to understand for physical perceptions of sounds shorter than a quarter second. Because they have implications for our ability to distinguish sounds presented even that slightly separated in time. Why does this matter? Because all of that state of the art sound reproduction exists in relation to our ability to actually perceive it. (if the topic is going to address our enjoyment of music). So exactly how much better is digital than vinyl when listened by the weird meat sack computers we are? It isn't light years.
Digital is better. How much better passed the limits of actually meaning anything a while ago. In a sense, audio is now a solved problem. The next steps are miniaturization and commodification. (Or rather the last frontier is to commodify through some form of standardization/Code perfection at all LPs). And understanding perception. (given our knowledge of the physiology and psychology of audio, what are the best strategies for helping people understand why they hear what they hear?). That perfection of reproduction isn't some star a million lightyears from earth. It is hardly different from the clean LP. The difference is small enough, given our meat sack limitations, that a clean LP is indistinguishable to a non-critical listener from lossless digital (same master, volume matched, identical room/speakers, etc.)) if you just separate the playback in time by few minutes. For a critical listener, you just have to wait longer. But the difference are real. They are understandable. And making an informed choice will likely bring you far more enjoyment.
I again stipulate that digital is better in all measurable ways than vinyl. I stipulate that more channels is better.
Vinyl can sound very, very good. That statement does nothing to diminish digital reproduction's status as measuring and by all objective measurements being better. It can acknowledge that we are very limited meat sacks and the supremacy of digital might be small enough within those limitations for someone to say flat out it sounds better and since that is what they believe, it does.
All of this being a very, very long winded way of saying that your antagonism (I think you call it honesty, even though truth doesn't seem to care what clothes it wears, so being truthful cruelly-- well the cruelty is your choice) might be causing you to do more harm than good. I actually agree with you about the facts, but damn, the way you choose to make big deal being gruff, manly, and "truthful" pushes me, someone who considers themselves to be a pretty hardcore objectivist, to want to root against you. If you care about actually changing someone's mind about any of this stuff, you might want to consider that calling them dumb, oblivious, anti-science, etc. isn't gong to be very convincing. It might make you feel better, but it won't convince them. So maybe instead of lightyears, you just point out that in every measurement digital is an improvement, and in fact in many ways surpasses measurable thresholds of audibility. It is also more convenient in absolutely every dimension. But if vinyl for for whatever other reasons is your thing, you can expect to hear pops and clicks, the occasional groove distortion, sometimes some wow if your TT is really shit, but given a good, clean record LPs, it can rock your socks off too. Especially when you play it loud! You know, if you care about changing minds more than being seen to be "truthful". (BTW, I don't think SOTA means what you think it does. At least not in its original, more useful definition.)
But hey. You do you. As they say.
I really shouldn't drunk post. Oh well.

Abstract:This study is the first step in the psychoacoustic exploration of perceptual differences between the sounds of different violins. A method was used which enabled the same performance to be replayed on different "virtual violins," so that the relationships between acoustical characteristics of violins and perceived qualities could be explored. Recordings of real performances were made using a bridge-mounted force transducer, giving an accurate representation of the signal from the violin string. These were then played through filters corresponding to the admittance curves of different violins. Initially, limits of listener performance in detecting changes in acoustical characteristics were characterized. These consisted of shifts in frequency or increases in amplitude of single modes or frequency bands that have been proposed previously to be significant in the perception of violin sound quality. Thresholds were significantly lower for musically trained than for nontrained subjects but were not significantly affected by the violin used as a baseline. Thresholds for the musicians typically ranged from 3 to 6 dB for amplitude changes and 1.5%-20% for frequency changes. Interpretation of the results using excitation patterns showed that thresholds for the best subjects were quite well predicted by a multichannel model based on optimal processing.

Abstract:Results of laboratory tests are presented in which 18 subjects, including some low frequency noise sufferers, were presented with low frequency sounds with varying degrees of fluctuation. Thresholds of acceptability were obtained for each sound and each subject, using the method of adjustment. These thresholds were then normalised to individual low frequency hearing threshold. It was found that sufferers tend to set thresholds of acceptability closer to their hearing threshold than other subject groups. Also, acceptability thresholds were set on average 5dB lower for fluctuating sounds. It is proposed that a sound should be considered fluctuating when the difference between L10 and L90 exceeds 5dB, and when the rate of change of the 'Fast' response sound pressure level exceeds 10dB/s.

Abstract:By industry standard (ITU-R. Recommendation BS.775-1), multichannel stereophonic signals within the frequency range of up to 80 or 120 Hz may be mixed and delivered via a single driver (e.g., a subwoofer) without significant impairment of stereophonic sound quality. The assumption that stereophonic information within such low-frequency content is not significant was tested by measuring discrimination thresholds for changes in interaural cross-correlation (IACC) within spectral bands containing the lowest frequency components of low-pitch musical tones. Performances were recorded for three different musical instruments playing single notes ranging in fundamental frequency from 41 Hz to 110 Hz. The recordings, made using a multichannel microphone array composed of five DPA 4006 pressure microphones, were processed to produce a set of stimuli that varied in interaural cross-correlation (IACC) within a low-frequency band, but were otherwise identical in a higher-frequency band. This correlation processing was designed to have minimal effect upon other psychoacoustic variables such as loudness and timbre. The results show that changes in interaural cross correlation (IACC) within low-frequency bands of low-pitch musical tones are most easily discriminated when decorrelated signals are presented via subwoofers positioned at extreme lateral angles (far from the median plane).

Abstract:Frequency modulation is critical to human speech. Evidence from psychophysics, neurophysiology, and neuroimaging suggests that there are neuronal populations tuned to this property of speech. Consistent with this, extended exposure to frequency change produces direction specific aftereffects in frequency change detection. We show that this aftereffect occurs extremely rapidly, requiring only a single trial of just 100-ms duration. We demonstrate this using a long, randomized series of frequency sweeps (both upward and downward, by varying amounts) and analyzing intertrial adaptation effects. We show the point of constant frequency is shifted systematically towards the previous trial’s sweep direction (i.e., a frequency sweep aftereffect). Furthermore, the perception of glide direction is also independently influenced by the glide presented two trials previously. The aftereffect is frequency tuned, as exposure to a frequency sweep from a set centered on 1,000 Hz does not influence a subsequent trial drawn from a set centered on 400 Hz. More generally, the rapidity of adaptation suggests the auditory system is constantly adapting and 'tuning' itself to the most recent environmental conditions.

Abstract:The human auditory system often relies on relative pitch information to extract and identify auditory objects; such as when the same melody is played in different keys. The current study investigated the mental chronometry underlying the active discrimination of unfamiliar melodic six-tone patterns by measuring behavioural performance and event-related potentials (ERPs). In a roving standard paradigm, such patterns were either repeated identically within a stimulus train, carrying absolute frequency information about the pattern, or shifted in pitch (transposed) between repetitions, so only relative pitch information was available to extract the pattern identity. Results showed that participants were able to use relative pitch to detect when a new melodic pattern occurred. Though in the absence of absolute pitch sensitivity significantly decreased and behavioural reaction time to pattern changes increased. Mismatch-Negativity (MMN), an ERP indicator of auditory deviance detection, was elicited at approximately 206 ms after stimulus onset at frontocentral electrodes, even when only relative pitch was available to inform pattern discrimination. A P3a was elicited in both conditions, comparable in amplitude and latency. Increased latencies but no differences in amplitudes of N2b, and P3b suggest that processing at higher levels is affected when, in the absence of absolute pitch cues, relative pitch has to be extracted to inform pattern discrimination. Interestingly, the response delay of approximately 70 ms on the behavioural level, already fully manifests at the level of N2b. This is in accordance with recent findings on implicit auditory learning processes and suggests that in the absence of absolute pitch cues a slowing of target selection rather than a slowing of the auditory pattern change detection process causes the deterioration in behavioural performance.

Abstract:DETERMINED THRESHOLDS FOR THE DETECTION OF THE DIRECTION AND THE RATE OF FREQUENCY CHANGE FOR PURE TONES FOR 22 MUSIC MAJORS. WITH CONSTANT INITIAL FREQUENCIES OF 125-1000 HZ. FOR DURATIONS OF .5-4 SEC., THE THRESHOLD FREQUENCY DIFFERENCE FOR DETECTION OF DIRECTION OF FREQUENCY CHANGE CLOSELY APPROACHED THAT OBTAINED IN A CONVENTIONAL FREQUENCY DISCRIMINATION TEST. THE THRESHOLD RATE OF FREQUENCY CHANGE WAS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE DURATION OF THE FREQUENCY CHANGE. TESTS WITH A VARIABLE STARTING FREQUENCY SUGGEST THAT LISTENERS CAN RESPOND DIRECTLY TO FREQUENCY CHANGES OVER THE DURATION OF THE SWEPT FREQUENCY TONE. TESTS WITH A RELATIVELY 'PURE' MEASURE OF RATE OF FREQUENCY CHANGE SUGGEST THAT, AT EXTREMELY SHORT TRANSITION TIMES, SENSITIVITY TO CHANGE IN THE RATE OF TRANSITION IS NEARLY DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE FREQUENCY RANGE SUBTENDED; AT LONG TRANSITION TIMES, IT IS NEARLY INDEPENDENT.

Abstract:Background: The detection of any abrupt change in the environment is important to survival. Since memory of preceding sensory conditions is necessary for detecting changes, such a change-detection system relates closely to the memory system. Here we used an auditory change-related N1 subcomponent (change-N1) of event-related brain potentials to investigate cortical mechanisms underlying change detection and echoic memory. Results: Change-N1 was elicited by a simple paradigm with two tones, a standard followed by a deviant, while subjects watched a silent movie. The amplitude of change-N1 elicited by a fixed sound pressure deviance (70 dB vs. 75 dB) was negatively correlated with the logarithm of the interval between the standard sound and deviant sound (1, 10, 100, or 1000 ms), while positively correlated with the logarithm of the duration of the standard sound (25, 100, 500, or 1000 ms). The amplitude of change-N1 elicited by a deviance in sound pressure, sound frequency, and sound location was correlated with the logarithm of the magnitude of physical differences between the standard and deviant sounds. Conclusions: The present findings suggest that temporal representation of echoic memory is non-linear and Weber-Fechner law holds for the automatic cortical response to sound changes within a suprathreshold range. Since the present results show that the behavior of echoic memory can be understood through change-N1, change-N1 would be a useful tool to investigate memory systems.

Abstract:Mismatch negativity (MMN), an event-related potential measure that probes an early, pre-attentive stage of the discrimination process, was used to examine the relation between mental ability and the detection of change in auditory frequency and duration. MMN waveforms were derived from auditory sequences presented to 83 participants who were instructed to ignore the stimuli. Higher mental ability (HA) was associated with larger MMN amplitude to infrequent (deviant) change in auditory frequency. There was no effect of mental ability on MMN to change in auditory stimulus duration. Although HA was associated with better frequency and duration discrimination, there was no relation between the discrimination thresholds and MMN measures, an observation that challenges the efficacy of MMN amplitude as an index of discrimination ability. The MNN amplitude effect for auditory frequency change is indicative of greater facility in accessing sensory memory for HA than LA, and notably, this advantage is accomplished automatically, without focused attention.

Description:Abstract Introduction The hormonal changes that occur during the menstrual cycle and their relationship with hearing problems have been studied. However, they have not been well explained. Objective The objective of our study is to investigate the variation in hearing thresholds in women during the menstrual cycle. Method We conducted a cohort and longitudinal study. It was composed of 30 volunteers, aged 18–39 years old, of which 20 were women during the phases of the menstrual cycle and 10 were men (control group) who underwent audiometry and impedance exams, to correlate the possible audiological changes in each phase of the menstrual cycle. Results There were significant changes in hearing thresholds observed during the menstrual cycle phases in the group of women who used hormonal contraceptives and the group who did not use such contraceptives. Improved hearing thresholds were observed in the late follicular phase in the group who did not use hormonal contraceptives and the hearing thresholds at high frequencies were better. Throughout the menstrual cycle phases, the mean variation was 3.6 db HL between weeks in the group who used hormonal contraceptives and 4.09 db HL in the group who did not use them. Conclusions The present study found that there may be a relationship between hearing changes and hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle based on changes in the hearing thresholds of women. In addition, this study suggests that estrogen has an otoprotective effect on hearing, since the best hearing thresholds were found when estrogen was at its maximum peak.

Abstract:BACKGROUND: The evaluation of how air rarefaction can affect a loudspeaker performance at altitude implies the need for characterization of earphones during hypobaric conditions. The aim of this study was phonometric analysis at different altitudes of the acoustic output of a widely used earphone model, along with its consequences on audiological investigations conducted under such environmental conditions. METHODS: The transfer function of a TDH-39P earphone was analyzed with an artificial ear under nine different altitude levels, from sea level up to 35,000 ft, inside a hypobaric chamber. A specific phonometric system not sensitive to environmental pressure changes was used. Other potentially confounding factors, such as environmental temperature and humidity, were continuously monitored. RESULTS: No relevant temperature or humidity changes were detected. The sound pressure level generated by the earphone under hypobaric conditions was found considerably affected by air density changes. These data produced a correction table aiming at recalibrating the earphone's output at each audiometric octave test frequency within the 250-8000 Hz range. Quite different characteristics of response were observed at different audiometric frequencies. Such findings were particularly evident for altitudes exceeding 12,000 ft. DISCUSSION: The development of a frequency-selective and altitude-related correction factor for acoustic stimuli is an essential aspect when hearing threshold measurements in hypobaric environments are performed.

Abstract:Behavioral studies show that frequency difference limens and spectral ripples discrimination might correlate with speech understanding. To what extent these stimuli can be applied in objective electrophysiological assessment in CI is not yet clear. For clinical application of using discriminative tasks in the latter (e.g. using auditory cortical evoked responses), research is needed to define reference data in normal hearing subjects, but also in CI recipients, who might have worse discriminative abilities. Ten normal hearing adults (control group) and ten adult MedEl CI recipients (experimental group) participated in this study. A single-interval paradigm was used to obtain individual psychometric curves of psychoacoustical frequency and spectral ripple discrimination thresholds. Besides these behavioral psychoacoustical thresholds. Stimuli consists of a reference frequency of 1000 Hz (1240 ms duration) tone with varying acoustic changes 0.2 to 10% FDL (Frequency Difference Limen: fbase+Δf), 620 ms after onset. For spectral ripples discrimination phase inversions were used with varying densities: 0.25 to 11.31 ripples per octave (RPO). Absolute auditory psychoacoustical and electrophysiological discrimination thresholds were analyzed and compared. Behavioral responses show discriminative thresholds for frequencies and ripples of 2.1% FDL and 1.2 RPO, respectively. As expected CI recipients show, compared to normal hearing subjects, worse discriminative capacities in frequency and spectral ripple discrimination i.e. psychoacoustical FDL's of 0.4% and a ripple discrimination of 13.8 RPO, respectively. Additionally, first preliminary electrophysiological application based on the present results of frequency and ripple discrimination tests are addressed.

Abstract:Sek and Moore [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 106, 351-359 (1999)] and Lyzenga et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 116, 491-501 (2004)] found that the just-noticeable frequency difference between two pure tones relatively close in time is smaller when these tones are smoothly connected by a frequency glide than when they are separated by a silent interval. This 'glide effect' was interpreted as evidence that frequency glides can be detected by a specific auditory mechanism, not involved in the detection of discrete, time-delayed frequency changes. Lyzenga et al. argued in addition that the glide-detection mechanism provides little information on the direction of frequency changes near their detection threshold. The first experiment reported here confirms the existence of the glide effect, but also shows that it disappears when the glide is not connected smoothly to the neighboring steady tones. A second experiment demonstrates that the direction of a 750 ms frequency glide can be perceptually identified as soon as the glide is detectable. These results, and some other observations, lead to a new interpretation of the glide effect, and to the conclusion that continuous frequency changes may be detected in the same manner as discrete frequency changes.

Abstract:This study investigated effects of a previous sound presentation at the absolute threshold of hearing. Changes in threshold were measured when a pure tone at 60 dB SPL preceded a test tone in the contra- or ipsilateral ear. When the previous and test sounds both had the same frequency of 500 Hz, threshold decreased approximately 2 dB in the contralateral ear, and increased slightly in the ipsilateral ear. On the other hand, when the frequency of the previous sound differed from that of the test sound, the threshold was decreased slightly in the ipsilateral ear.

Abstract:Used frequency-modulated tones with highly asymmetrical patterns of frequency modulation (FM) for the pitch of 2-tone complexes, keeping the amplitude constant during the stimulus presentation. The authors' working hypothesis was that stability-sensitive weighting would result in the pitch mechanism placing less weight on portions of the waveform where the instantaneous frequency was changing rapidly, resulting in a shift in the perceived pitch away from the value corresponding to the mean frequency. The authors tested this hypothesis in 3 experiments. Four Ss, ranging in age from 18–38 yrs, participated in all conditions in Exp 1. Results of Exp 1 show that the overall magnitude of the pitch shifts increased with increasing carrier frequency up to 2 kHz. In Exp 2, using 1 S from Exp 1 and 3 new Ss, the authors used a much lower sensation level of 20 dB SL. The pattern of results of Exp 2 shows that the progressive increase in pitch shift with increasing modulation rate found at 50 dB SPL was due to the influence of resolvable components in the spectrum. Exp 3 used 2 Ss from Exp 2, and the results at 4 kHz indicate that the pitch of a sinusoidal carrier frequency modulated with a highly asymmetric modulator does not correspond to the geometric or arithmetic mean frequency.

Abstract:Two experiments measured thresholds for the detection of increments and decrements in the intensity of a quasi-continuous broadband-noise (experiment 1) or increments in a 477-Hz pure-tone pedestal (experiment 2). A variety of onset and offset ramps for the intensity change were tested, from instantaneous onsets or offsets to ramps lasting several tens of milliseconds. For increments and decrements with equal duration, the characteristics of the ramps had little effect on performance. Abrupt rise times, which are associated with strong transient responses in auditory neurons, did not facilitate detection in comparison to much slower rise times. The temporal window model of temporal resolution provided a good account of the data when the decision statistic was the maximum magnitude of the change in the output of the window produced by the increment or decrement, but provided a poor account of the data when the decision statistic was the maximum rate of change in the output of the window over time. Overall the results suggest that, in the absence of cues in the audio-frequency domain, rapid changes in envelope contribute little to near-threshold increment or decrement detection.

Keywords:characteristics & physiological correlates of tone decay in right vs left ear & effect of contralateral noise, normal-hearing 17–31 yr olds
Abstract:Administered a tone decay test to 58 normal-hearing, right-handed Ss (aged 17–31 yrs), successively in the left and right ears and in absence and presence of a contralateral noise. The results revealed that tone decay was greater in the right than in the left ear and was increased by contralateral noise. The contralateral effect of this noise on cochlear biomechanisms was then estimated by measuring contralaterally induced variations in the amplitude of click-evoked otoacoustic emissions in the same Ss. In the right ear, the increase in tone decay and the decrease in otoacoustic emission amplitude–both induced by contralateral noise–were positively correlated. Furthermore, the contralateral changes in otoacoustic emission amplitude were found to be on average larger in the right than in the left ear, this asymmetry being correlated with that observed for the tone decay. These findings are discussed in relation to previous results on simple and induced loudness adaptation in the vicinity of threshold, on contralateral attenuation of otoacoustic emissions, and on the influence of the auditory efferents on cochlear biomechanisms.

Abstract:In testing the relationship between the duration of the comparison tone and the intensity required to produce a judgment of one j.n.d. in loudness, three functions were obtained with each of two observers, each function having a different frequency and sensation level of loudness as constant parameters. A ratio as high as three was found between the highest and lowest ΔI ratio in any one function. The reciprocal of ΔI, used as a measure of the sensitivity of the organism to intensitive changes, suggested two hypotheses to explain the form of the sensitivity function, both of which are analyzed and rejected. Crozier's theory is likewise rejected, since the lower parts of the sensitivity curves do not approach zero asymptotically. Two possible explanations of the too rapid bending of the lower portions of the curves are: (1) mechanical and neural thresholds which would differentiate between short and long tones; and (2) tonal transients affected differentially by tone duration. Békésy's results are not confirmed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
