I mean probably not but what if? i honestly don't know if this counts or not but i went to a friend of mine's rich granpas house once in like 1999 and he had a whole set up with a perfectly symmetrical room and "super audio CDs" or some poo poo and it just sounded like a normal cd with an aged nerd talking over it about fidelity or whatever

I’ll find a few really good new-to-me songs or albums and listen to them in the car, get bored of them after like 100 plays, then revert to enjoying the silence while driving I can’t remember the last time I was able to listen to music while working and be able to get anything done

TOOT BOOT posted:Audiophilia is snake oil, just buy decent poo poo and be happy with it this is correct. a modern pair of AKG K240s sounds exactly the same as a classic pair but costs like fifty bucks and can be driven by literally any DAC. they’re like 32 ohms which is less than a pair of dirty buds from an old ipod if your job is literally music production sure go buy some huh duh six hunges or some other dumb professional grade closed backs or whatever but if you’re into octuple insulated speaker cables and tube amplifiers for plugging your cassette deck into you need audiophile detox

Modern DSP stuff is so drat cool. With a $40 microphone and less than an hour of time fuckin with free software, you can dial out all those weird little resonances and phase shifts and stuff, and make a speaker perform in ways traditional analysis says isn't even possible. The filtering and analysis techniques aren't new, but the accessibility sure is and man is it a game changer.

impulse response tech is cool for modeling guitar amps and cabinets too. I used to have a modeling amp that let you create new IR profiles with your own amp, and download other peoples profiles. the results are pretty impressive, especially for recording. live performance didn’t sound as good as a real amp, or maybe I didn’t have the right “full range flat response” speaker

Lowclock posted:I use Room EQ Wizard with a Dayton UMM-6 to measure stuff and generate some basic minimum phase filters. Then I export that to rePhase to turn those instead into linear phase filters, and drag some sliders around to even out weird phase/group delay stuff. It will do some math and spit out a filtered impulse response that you can throw into something like Equalizer APO for PCs, Viper or JamesDSP on android, or obviously a dedicated DSP if you have one nice enough to support impulse response correction. If I'm doing multiple discrete channels in a weird configuration like a car, I'll use REW again with the filters active to measure for time delay again and get the soundstage right. It looks pretty daunting at first but it's pretty easy and cheap and fast and extremely effective. im currently at the stage where im controlling physical speaker routing using voicemeeter banana

I mean probably not but what if? story: the absolute saddest thing i ever read was some copy in 'Music Direct', an audiophile catalog that will make you both laugh and cry. there was a $30,000 turntable you could buy (doesn't even come with a needle). the copy with it read something like: quote:"You know that with this in your system, your friends will be begging you to come over just for a little taste. AND, you'll find that people you barely know will want to get to know you so they too can listen!" it's like the sad kid on the playground who buys a flashy toy to make friends, but it's so much sadder when it's a grown-rear end man...
