RE: Dr. Herbert Melcher

-Has done some testing with audio systems and has found that the more the system violates human perceptual rules (distortion is certainly one of those violations) that there is a tipping point where the processing of music moves from the limbic system to the cerebral cortex. He actually has, IOW, some hard objective numbers on the subjective experience!

I've been convinced for a long time that if the system is good at obeying the human perceptual rules that it will also be better at sounding like real music. The surprising thing, as simple as that sounds logically, is how often I get push-back from members of the audio community! Its my guess that the matter of human perceptual rules might be a bit of an inconvenient truth.
