This leads to my belief, not backed up by science, that as humans, we needed to detect the direction of the lion/cheetah before it got too close to us, and that made proper phase detection critical to avoid being lunch. Yet the usual measurements of hi-fi focuses instead on frequency. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
