Except there's no way it's possible to hear this absolute phase except (maybe) for very low frequency sounds like a bass drum. The more I think about this the more silly this seems. Even if you could hear the difference it won't have anything to do with the original sound. Can a speaker cone emulate the absolute phase of vocal cords? A trumpet? Which way should it oscillate to do that? And even for the bass drum, the sound is probably coming from both speakers - so then what do you do about the phase? Or from a subwoofer which could have a vertically oriented cone? -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22118 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
