How Science Got Sound Wrong


I don't believe I've posted this before or if it has been posted before but I found it quite interesting despite its technical aspect. I didn't post this for a digital vs analog discussion. We've beat that horse to death several times. I play 90% vinyl. But I still can enjoy my CD's.

Your brain measures the phase difference of the same signal reaching both ears. Errors in phase of a sound primarily from one speaker will not affect the measurements. Errors in phase from a sound from both speakers only matters if the phase shift is significantly different between the speakers, I.e. mfg variation.


And yes it is a red herring that keeps being raised by people who don’t understand how how digitization and analog reconstruction works and the math behind it.
That article was very entertaining, especially this little nugget. That’s gold, jerry, gold!!

“Put another way, if a sensitive, world-acclaimed innovator denounces his industry and its technology for undermining human dignity and brain function, something big is up. Who could be more qualified than a world expert — with loads of experience and no incentive to fib — to call the alarm about widespread technological damage.”
atdavid,

>>>>>>Well, no wonder nobody understands. 🤗 That’s GOLD, Jerry, GOLD!
The problem is GK, is that he is Not a world expert, not even remotely on the underlying topic of this whole article. He is an expert on physics and and neurobiology. He is absolutely not an expert on digitization, digital signal processing and reconstruction. Everything he says about human hearing and perception we can assume is 100% right and it makes no difference as the whole premise of his article is underlying flaws in timing in a multi channel audio system that frankly are not there. No expert in signal processing would have ever made the fundamental flaw(s) he did.


I find it disappointing that once again you have made posts that carry absolutely no relevance or information and add nothing to the discussion but appear to be only attempts to hear yourself talk. Feel free to use your obviously extensive free time to find a scientifically relevant paper ( i.e. something published and reviewed) that shows what I said to be false. If you can’t do that, then please go troll elsewhere. There are people here that actually want to learn.
terry9, here is an example that someone created that shows an example of what I am discussing w.r.t. subsample timing:.https://www.dsprelated.com/showcode/207.php

This is fairly simple paper that looks at impacts of noise and distortion on time measurements:.

There are literally thousands of articles and papers on subsample timing measurement.
