Of course, but I'm trying to create a situation where honest sincerity would work for the person asking the question without making demands on a resource that seems highly constrained, namely technical competence. We both know that the Gibbs effect happens in the data domain when you suddenly cut off all of the higher order harmonics. IOW you can demonstrate the Gibbs effect perfectly with just math, which is more fundamental than either analog audio or digital audio. You can do the math in the time domain or the frequency domain and the results are the same. The bottom line is that the math says that when you brick wall low pass filter a waveform a rapid change in the signal will cause ringing, and that is how the ball bounces. IMO the cited paragraph covers that quite clearly and in times past I would be mystified by any failure to comprehend. However I have been working with placebophiles lately and I now understand that their biases severely inhibit learning from reliable sources. So the question becomes how to overcome the perceptual difficulties of placebophiles when it comes to technical discussions. My approach this time was to direct the discussion so that honest sincerity would be the critical resource, not technical competence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103537 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
