I could go one but It will sound like I'm talking to some silly AI program which cannot hear but "knows" measurements. All the best, Nonoise |
@nonoise If you read more about it, timbre is just about distortion, it’s why a guitar and a piano playing the same frequency key sounds different.

@mzkmxcv,
You have a peculiar way of seeing (hearing?) things.

It's good to know we don't have to listen to anything before we purchase it, as we only need to look at measurements. Not even who measured it, under what conditions those measurements were taken, or what equipment was used to take those measurements...... just look at the measurements.
I'm relieved. |
mzkmxcv... timbre is just about distortion, it’s why a guitar and a piano playing the same frequency key sounds different. Timbre is an inherent quality of real musical instruments, and a more correct analogy is that it’s what makes one piano sounds different than another piano. Timbre is not distortion; a piano is supposed to sound like a piano, not a pure tone from a frequency generator. |
