Geoff, Pink tends to sound most flat to our ears. That's why it's widely used to calibrate audio equipment.
Red/brown may sound nice as well, but are relatively "dark" Funny thing about "white" is that it keeps that agressive nature in a restricted bandwidth, because the high flank will grab the most attention of our ears. I think that may be a reason to cause ear fatigue in the long run. In analog DIY radio's I've allways tried to maintain a "pinkish" character with a gentle low slope and a steep high. 73' Paul PD0PSB Geoffrey Downs-2 wrote: > > Thank you Paul - the Wiki entry was new to me and very interesting.
