RE: Long-term DBT example

I wonder if we will ever establish a new useful metric for audio "quality". I believe that in it's day that THD was a generally useful indicator in addition to being readily measurable with the technology in hand. Now it just adds confusion.

Rick, it's seems like you may be interested in the link below. Read each of the links on the page starting with Distortion Perception I. Very different from audiophile data in that it is based on physical reality, so it's verifiable and repeatable, unlike a hallucination. When I'm not getting my laughs here, I'm reading stuff like Earl's work. Definitely applicable to a speaker tinkerer like moi. Enjoy.

cheers,

AJ
