I thought we went over that before. A 180 degree phase shift across all frequencies IS a phase reveral, or polarity inversion, or whatever you want to call it. As we've seen here, the fact that many people claim something means essentially nothing. Many people believe in astrology. That link reports on blind test results, as did the other one I posted earlier. These are experiments conducted by scientists who do this research for a living. The results are that music treated with a filter that totally destroys the RELATIVE phases is indistinguishable from music not treated that way, and only one of several test tones tried could be distinguished, and that only through headphones. Same for the other study. Now, this is not the same as a polarity inversion, because the filters they use induce a (large) phase shift which depends on frequency. Instead, it should be much MORE audible. -- 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
