Well, I've even read it in Stereophile when they reviewed pre-amps. It seems like there's a new hot topic of listening placebo every year or so. I've seen people describe better/worse timing several times and just wondering if this is more audiofraud minutia or if it's a very clear distinction that can be relatively easily recognized by a critical listener.
Amp "timing" ?
I was reading someone raving about the impeccable "timing" of their high-end amp this morning. I have heard this term tossed around several times recently in my dive back into highish-end audio.
Can someone please explain what is meant by this term? Is it snake-oil or confirmation bias? I just don't understand how a human can hear a timing difference of a soundwave unless it's a 2nd+ order reflection.
Thoughts?
