In Reply to: So why do you expect an unnatural response.? if our hearing is the way it is? posted by Elizabeth on August 20, 2012 at 16:39:08:
>So I say the system works. Because YES our hearing IS different at lower volumes.<
The sound is different, your hearing works the same. If they mixed it to the volume that you feel comfortable with. Then you would hear it like it was intended by the artist. But if they use Industry standard loud. Then your amp should adjust it to your volume, like high-end equipment has been doing for over fifty years. Nothing new here. We do not have to reinvent the wheel.
>So naturally our expectations should be for what is NATURAL.<
Your expectations, or how the Artist wanted you to hear it?
>The op wants the SAME experience at lower volumes.<
The op will get the same experience at any volume with the proper equipment ie: Loudness compensator control.
>For you, perhaps you are saying ONLY the exact dB of the original performance is ‘correct”?<
No I am saying that is what the artist mixed it to. What the Artist wants you to hear, probably before you change it to something else.
> and any variation is wrong.<
How do you know what is right if you have not hear it the way it was presented to you by the creator?
I liked to listen to familiar music slowed down to 16 rpm before CD’s took that option away.
>Or can we change the volume,<
You should be able to afford to change the volume, without screwing up your music.
> and accept that out natural hearing is also different at those levels. <
You’re hearing is the same, the music changed. Your music was desinged for survival not to hear music on cheaply made music reproductive systems.
> hearing has variations in the way it naturally hears at different levels of loudness.<
This is true, Our hearing does not have limitations. The cheap equipment that you are listing to it on has the limitations, that can easily be overcome. Just spend some time with a Vintage amp with an acceptable loudness curve and your own music, and you will never except this rot on the market today.
>One reason to eliminate tone controls was to get rid of errors.<
No it was just to make it cheaper. They did it to make money.
> Well is not wanting more bass and treble when we naturally hear less of it at lower levels a ‘distortion’ in the name of audiphilia?<
Depends how you do it. The idea is to have it sound the same at any volume. You can change it at any volume also. Your choice. But it will sound the same at all loudness.
>Hope this rambling makes a little sense.<
Yers Elizabeth it makes little sense.
