Post Subject: Only ONE issue to fix?Posted by Axel on: 8/14/2009

Your response indicates some presumption to me, as much as mine indicated to you. In my experience it is practically NEVER only ONE issue involved -- B U T, one would in my experience try to isolate where the most immediate benefit might be found. So see my questions in that light.

If the person for example would have a 'wide-band' single driver topology and I'd go out to tell him that he should first consider to change all his resistors in his cross-over to get rid of some energy storage, what's that got to do with the price of milk?

If he (or she?) for example only experiences the problem with his analogue rig, then why get into his digital front end? (same applies visa versa)

If he uses a Wilson Alex, no need to tell him to look into his cross-over (since it's cast in resin, sorry :-) --- so possibly I have made MY point.

I'm pretty sure in the general scheme of things YOUR point would HAVE to be a different one, - and if it's a good one, we might have learned something :-)

As to the rest of your response --- you are running TOO fast for me! I can already sniff out you going into energy storage of drivers (maybe he is using compression drivers?) or cross-over issues with caps. If I read you correctly we would then not able to see the trees for the forest either.

In closing, it could be the reverse problem of what causes sibilance distortion, --- and what causes that, will again have more then one reason - but possibly a root cause, as I'm sure you might be well aware of.

Still one more, if using a spherical stylus it will round over his transients, which will not produce the defined saxophone-reed to be heard either, so?

PS: Tsiolkovsky, as a top flight aeronautics research engineer would have endeavoured some logical deduction, so now we are looking forward to yours.

(I of course knew that I should have let some other poster pick-up that hot chestnut, but then I'd miss an opportunity to learn something, and even if it was one added piece of BS, it's always good to being able to discern.
