RE: Do measurements matter? - linked article

Hi as i said accuracy in reproducing a signal is a basic concept in high fidelity
The principles are principles ...
If you send in a wave form and you get a very distorted one at the output is not good.
On principle.
If you send in a monotone signal and you get at the output many other signals not present in the original one again this is not good.
I would start with a test to screen out the not accurate systems, to move on maybe with listening tests.
I cannot say that good sounding systems cannot be also accurate of course. That would be the best.
But a system that distorts badly a signal or even more it generates signals not presented in the original input ... it lets me perplexed. Very.
And i also think that in the long term distortion is fatiguing.
It is like looking at something with wrong glasses. It stresses the brain.



Kind regards,
bg
