RE: such an odd dichotomy

"Please don't misunderstand - I'm not worrying about them. I'm just pointing out that the industry has come a long way since 1970, and that new measurements and techniques are an evolving aspect of science."

Indeed. And the impulse and waterfall measurements are great tools. But even those measurements show tons of stuff we can't hear. I can look at a waterfall plot on most multi-million dollar "high end" systems and easily point out huge audible problems that their owners are missing and/or ignoring. We can move a piece of furniture in the room and see a noticeable change in the waterfall plot. A change that we are not going to hear.

It's one of many very informative measurements that far exceeds our ability to hear things. The trick in reading waterfall plots is to know what matters and what doesn't matter.

The moderators feel that allowing this thread to continue, even though it may hold useful information, will wind up creating more trouble than it solves, and thereby detract from the purpose of this forum.

This is not the appropriate venue for discussion of this matter, and we ask that those with an interest in the subject, take it elsewhere (e.g. private e-mail).

No further follow-ups will be considered.

Thank you for your support of the Asylum.
