Equalizers typically totally mangle frequency dependant phase. Really, really expensive ones do less damage than affordable ones. In theory, a digital equalizer could use infinite impulse response filters and not mangle the phase at all, but most computers don't calculate all that well with infinite numbers. So the approximations here and there don't matter all that much, right? I believe that proper phase relationships between frequencies within music are critical. The human ear/brain is very sensitive to phase differences (at least above 200 hZ). But it is only my belief, not proven fact. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
