Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

I like this explanation

It removes the tension between the "tests have shown you can't hear >20kHZ" crowd and the anecdotal reoprts that extended bandwidth matters.

I think there is way too little attention paid to the time-domain behavior of audio systems, and the impact on sound quality.

As Dan B. would certainly point out ;-), the time domain errors of most speakers are much worse than those of the upstream electronics.

However, if you could look at the cumulative time delay errors of the entire chain from microphone to speaker terminals, I bet it would look pretty horrific. I suspect that 44.1kHz A/D and D/A makes that even worse.
