Did Amir Change Your Mind About Anything?

Are you playing with me ? why deforming my thinking ?

I learned acoustic by studying but experimenting at the same time... You cannot change the fact...by mocking all people here and thinking you are alone with books and articles... and only you can read them...

You proved you know little in acoustic because you never done it yourself... using EQ is not an acoustically "tour de force"...

State for me the fundamental problem in psycho-acoustic and show me your deep understanding ...

You never did it a bit in the last 5 days... 😊

What is even more comical is thinking any of those disciplines teach you anything about acoustic science. My piano teacher doesn’t know a tweeter from a woofer.

What astonish me with your arrogance and despise for audiophiles here, is not what you say, it is the fact you are not even conscious that anybody reading your posts with a brain know you know NOTHING in psycho-aqcoustic save the tools instruction manual of your psycho-aqcoustic costly toys..

you dont impress me and me, apart my acoustic experments, i am a nobody in audio .. I learned how to listen tough... Try to tune your room from your basement plumber and house discarded materials and come back to show me the soundfield results ? We will see if you had digested Toole information as more than ABSTRACT recipe ... I know designer here who i read and i KNOW that they KNOW what they speak about... They dont play boss..

😊😊

You spoke to  me as if i was a child and not really there adressing a crowd  and as if i did not do it already with complete success... You are right on one point, it takes me one year of tuning non stop ... It was very fun but very complex... By the way it COST ME NOTHING.... I

I don't know what you know or have done.  I am not a mind reader.  You asked me "what I think of Helmholtz resonators" and I answered.

As to you having deployed that, these tuned products are designed to solve a specific problem with a very specific solution.  The only way to know both of those components is with high resolution measurements of bass frequencies.  You have not provided anything of the sort.  For all we know, you may not have had the problem you thought you had, nor solved it the way you think you have.

I have had people report building these things, deploying them, and unlike you, measuring them only to see that they don't do much of anything for them.

And that statement about costing nothing is absurd.  Even if you built it yourself, there is material cost.  The thing doesn't materialize itself out of thin air, pun intended.

I don’t know what you have learned. I can only go by what you can demonstrate here and so far, I have not seen you express anything in this thread indicating any knowledge of the field. Maybe you know it, but I don’t know that you do.

You cannot change the fact...by mocking all people here and thinking you are alone with books and articles... and only you can read them...

A claim of knowledge is not a fact. Nor have I mucked anyone individually. I discuss the technical point and show measurements, references, and other data to prove them. You have something like that, let’s see it. Start by demonstrating how you know the perceptual effects of lateral reflections.

As to the book, it costs so little compared to what people spend on gear/content.  I suggest you go and buy it and read that, instead of wasting time here.  And yes, that includes reading my posts.  The book is that valuable.

You cannot have a clue about Helmholtz resonators because you did not even mention them for the bass problem in a room... You mock those who use material treatment favoring EQ alone... It is ignorance...

By the way what you speak about the specialized use of ONE resonator for the bass control for a precise use in a room  is something already commercialized with success , it had no relation with a distributed grid of one hundred resonators,  from 8 feet high to small one,  and their effect on the pressure zone distribution and their effect on the relation between the speakers and the listener when tuned and located appropriately..

... You cannot learn that ABSTRACTLY you did it or not... with your ears...

I had no results my friend, i had an acoustic room better or not too far from what i look as your room at no cost... but hard work...😊

how i know ?

a soundfield filling the room able to gave to each recording a complete faithful translation..

Why it is faithful ?

because each recording in an ideal audio system must be DIFFERENT... Each one...

What is more valuable than buying the book is experimenting with it by the way ...

By the way you suffer from Alzheimer...

i already said multiple times i have the Toole book.., then when you speak to me speak to me not to an invisible crowd...

stay healthy...

In my living room the two easiest acoustic tweaks I made were to experiment with the angles of the wooden louver blinds that covered big glass windows. There was a certain angle that broke up chaotic reflections but did not deaden the room. The other effective tweak was to distribute small throw rugs over the wood floors between my speakers and the listening chair. This was not a total blanketing of the floor. There is a mix of throw rugs and unobstructed floor. A little creative orientation of the rugs brought an obvious improvement to the sound. To allege that this treatment is ridiculous is well...ridiculous.
