The question you should be asking yourself should be more about being proud of the way you behave on this forum.
Spending exclusively your time attacking and insulting contributors under the pretext that you disapprove their point of view, without ever justifying yours, as if you were the depositary of 'the absolute truth', does not give a brilliant image of your intelligence and education.
We would rather think of one of these alcoholics that we sometimes meet at night in country bars. But it seems that you have found a brilliant companion for the "Give us a refill, boss" too many.

You seem unhappy with this forum. In case you didn't know, there are many other forums that are different. I would start looking at those if I were you.
 
Isn't it funny that your only critic of a paper that is "technically wrong anyway you are looking at it" was based on an unfounded premise?

I mean "anyway you are looking at it"........ could it be that you haven't read the publication? :)

A bit of copy and paste from the psaudio website and an equally unfounded talking point from SY (you know about why the paper allegedly wasn't accepted by the JAES) was all that you had to offer..........

Tried cymbal samples and got 9/10...
... We’ve beaten this DAC/ADC thing to death on this thread. This the 3rd or 4th cycle IIRC. . . .
So upsampled 320 kbs mp3 to 24/176 is distinguishable from original, big deal. Debates was about whether higher than 16/44k is useless. Topic went around the bush and dies down without producing clear conclusion as usual.
Now this, what is it? Does it matter? Sounds just like an advertisement for a 6 way speakers, probably comes with mashed up phase response as well.
 
Carry on wasting time T, Jakob will be proud of you :rolleyes:

T-E is in an electronics design break, since those lazy forum members don't seem to be in a rush to come up with a PCB layout design, so you could take advantage of his superior knowledge of SQ evaluation. When he's back to electronics, I will myself take advantage of his infinite wisdom and knowledge of CFAs :rofl:.

It is a waste of time to verify assertions, whether they go in the direction of what one presumes or against. It seems to me, on the contrary, an essential step.
I'm not a blind believer.
This interest-me, I want to ensure those conclusions have some values before to change my mind, while you seems to accept them with no more question because they lead in the direction where you "believe".
 
Interesting. Do we have details about the set-ups used ?
Because I know no single speaker able to reproduce HF frequencies in the same time than bass, i suppose what they call speakers is a multiway speaker assemblies, and the supposed IM is the one produced by the amplifier ?

10 male and 3 female listeners (age 19 - 26) participated in the experiment, normal hearing, no one could detect single tone frequencies above 22 kHz when presented alone at max 85 dB (SPL).

The tones in the audio band were 2Khz - 18 kHz (see diagramms) and the ultrasonic tones were the so-called target components modulated at a 2Hz rate.

The six loudspeakers were located in front of the participants (2 rows, 3 columns)
In the first experiment the participants must vary the level of the ultrasonic components using a forced up-and-down method.
In the single loudspeaker condition the ultrasonic components were detected at 65.76 dB(SPL), while no one could detect the ultrasonice components in the six speaker condition up to 80 dB(SPL)

In a second experiment a stereophonic two channel set-up was used, where only the right channel carried the ultrasonic components.
Two males and three females participated; the ultrasonic components were detected in the single speaker condition at ~63 dB(SPL) while no one could detect it in the six speaker condition.

If you make reference to my:
Pizzicato, a 200W low distortion CFA amplifier
I'm still waiting for argumentative demonstrations of the flaws of this design and positive suggestions on how to improve-it from your part.
But, in your usual way, only despicable attacks against the person.

Not to forget that this is an insult in the direction of Krisfr that is working on the board design and inform-me regularly of his progress.

What also amuses me a lot is that if I am able to successfully design an amplifier, I am sure it would be very fun to see you in the studio behind a mixing console.
You are definitely an obnoxious character aggressive and full of himself. On my side, I pretend nothing, and surely not any "superior knowledge", contrary to you, I just try to do my best and continue to learn.

No, you don't; as anybody could read (assuming there are members willing to waste time on that crap) multiple members (including some very knowledgeable ones) tried to explain the elementary design errors you were making, only to be accused of personal attacks (the same pattern you are using in this thread), or you ran away with their ideas, only to eventually include them as your own. A despicable behaviour, if you ask me.

Enough of this noise, feeding trolls is not my idea of entertainment. Could you please add me back to your ignore list where I belong?

A perfect illustration of what i said (including arguments of authority).
