The effective usable dynamic range in a car on the highway, even in an EV, 
is about 30-35dB.  Below that the audio gets lost in the car's background 
noise.  I'm confident that 8 bit quantization would be plenty in a car, 
though no one I know of uses it for auto music systems.

Frequencies above around 10kHz will be masked by the background noise, too.  
A 32kHz sampling rate would be plenty for a car, though again, no one I know 
of uses it.  In fact if you're over about 45 or 50 years old, chances are 
you can't hear anything over 15kHz anyway.  (I could barely hear 18kHz when 
I was a teenager.  Today my hearing falls off at around 15kHz, and I'm lucky 
it's that high.)  

And by the way, stereo FM radio's bandwidth is ... yep, 15kHz.

What matters in a moving vehicle is not the sampling rate, or the bit depth 
(quantization).  It's the encoding bit rate and algorithm.

Nearly all digital audio sources, except for CDs, use some kind of data 
compression. (MP3 and AAC are common examples.) The higher the compression, 
the lower the bit rate, and the more you can store on a given medium, BUT 
the more audio information is lost.  

This loss of audio information causes audible compression "artifacts."  
Artifacts are kind of hard to describe.  To my ears it's a watery or 
burbling effect, or a sort of grainy noise that seems to surround certain 
kinds of sound.  

For very high bit rates and sophisticated compression algorithms, this 
effect is slight.  In a car, it might even be inaudible at those high bit 
rates.  For low rates, it's much more apt to be audible, though I've found 
that some people notice it more than others.

To make things worse, audio that's been digitally compressed, decompressed, 
and then compressed and decompressed a second time (or more) sounds a LOT 
worse.  The loss of quality doesn't just add.  Data compression algorithms 
interact with each other, and not in a good way.  

So if you're listening to mp3 files (which are compressed) through bluetooth 
(which is also compressed*), you lose more quality than the sum of the two 
would suggest.  

I'm probably not explaining this very well, but the upshot is that bluetooth 
really does make your music sound worse than a good, clean wired connection 
will.

So what does all this have to do with EVs?

EVs are quieter than ICEVs, and without engine noise and vibration, they 
have a different noise profile.  Thus it's worth putting more effort into 
getting good sound in an EV than in an ICEV.  For that reason I recommend 
that you avoid using bluetooth and its secondary digital audio data 
compression in your EV.

*Recent versions of BT claim that their audio compression is "lossless" or 
"CD quality." This is demonstrably untrue.  Yes, it's less "lossy" than 
earlier BT versions, but it's still not true CD quality (uncompressed PCM).

[EVDL] OT:Re: Re: Leafs too cheap

2016-12-17 Thread Mark Abramowitz via EV
Let's agree that there is a lot of disagreement over meaningful sampling rates 
- I and others believe that higher rates sound better. And while I did mark 
this diversion OT, I think a discussion of sampling rates is far beyond what I 
intended in suggesting better sound from a cables connection than BT.
My suggestion is that whether the OP wants to use a cable or BT connection, his 
aux input shouldn't be having the problems he sees, and that the dealer should 
fix the problem. It's broken.
And then, when it's working correctly, let his own ears decide.
That being said, in my own car, I use a cable, except when it's more convenient 
to use BT. Sometimes the sound quality degradation is worth the convenience at 
that particular time.

This company is in the Czech Republic. According to their 'Transportation Price
List', the cost to ship 1kg is $59, 10kg is $85. The cost of the plug and cord,
including VAT, is $83.49, so the cost is at least $142. 49, not including the
customs you will pay or couple weeks it will take to get here...

TucsonEV.com will send you a J1772 Plug with 20ft of 30A cord for $125 plus

Re: [EVDL] OT: Re: Leafs too cheap

2016-12-17 Thread Peri Hartman via EV

Paul, I think your analysis shows BT does not match a wired connection.

44K * 16b = 704kb/s, roughly double 328kb/s

And that's assuming a perfect signal - no packet loss. Now, if you 
transmit MP3, which is highly compressed, you probably could use BT just 
fine. But, personally, I can hear the difference between MP3 and 
uncompressed for some types of music, like classical.

But, as was pointed out, it depends upon whose ear is listening, and the

Hear it or not, if it's broken, that's not acceptable.

Sent from my iPhone
Actually 215 includes all taxes licences etc. also service for three years.  35 
payments as Nissan pays the first payment.  9k buy back at end of lease.  
Discount for being a 2016 model and not the 2017.  Seems to be the same car.  
Plus this S model has cruise control which is very good for going up hills at a 
set speed. Bluetooth audio.  My 2013 S model has Bluetooth only for phone 
calls.  Must use a cord on aux to listen to your cell phone.  Get Nissan no pay 
to charge card.  2500 from California State Government.  So 215x35 plus 9k 
minus 2500 = 14,025.  Yes I was off a bit. Main difference between the S and SV

 In a car, less likely, but yes it can be detected. But it really depends. 
I've personally been able to detect a difference, though not always. It also 
depends on the car's electronics.

For me the bottom line is that these 'Little' guys are like those public
school nerdy kids that got regularly beat up because they kept sticking
their nose where it did not belong, nor was wanted (they said or exclaimed
stuff that eventually was found to be not true, though they came off
sounding like they were the know-it-all experts). 
IMO, these guys are easily bought off to say what you want, for your cause,
for a price.

Transistor-Making Best Left To Jewellers
9th December 2016  David Manners

The founder of Sprague Electric, Robert Sprague, had a brother, Julian, who
was made vp of sales.

Unlike his visionary, risk-taker brother who wanted to grow the company,
Julian was a risk-averse, profit-oriented person.

He hated his brother’s foray into semiconductors when Sprague licensed
Bell’s point contact transistor in 1952.

So Julian hired Arthur D Little to look at the initiative.

“Transistors are so complicated and small,” reported Arthur D Little, “that
they are a job for watchmakers, not for Sprague Electric Company.”
