Has to be said

Hi,
i been reading most sites and the little arguments about this and that about making audio in this case be more pleasent ot better to any individual. and have to say upfront that if "you" believe its better to you than it is in fact true to you and you only. we are just reletive respondants to each other and therefore nature and the universe.
many of the subjects that come up as to improving ones audio system tend to go into little details that may or may not have "real" affects on most of us. and also be provable with phsics,math,medical studies etc.many musicians and many humans can distinguish alot of these aspects. and they are ALL quantifiable and measureable very easilly. from 1800 till today FFT and resonance,sound perfiliration has been well adjustable from the totally acoustic pipe organs to the music halls 100s of years ago with out electronic fixes, and all these new snake oil gagets on the market. many are always big commenters here on this site.
Its totally true you can "fix" and sound wave with free rocks,walls,chambers, etc. so go for it at a cost of zero dollars. and adbandon all these marketing hacks.
Ive been well into sound,RF,Radioation, Electron manulipation, Audio,phsics etc all my life and all my relatives aslso . I dont need to justify my opinions yet am dignified by holding 8 international patents,2 doctrets and my dad with similar fields.
one crazy obvious thing no one even bothers to mention is the way off standard of 440hz shifted 8hz the earths standard resonance. while all the 1000s of years 432hz was based on real natural happenings before electronics. dont you all care everything you listen to is 8hz off tune and therefore wrong, but you will bicker about a few microvolts noise from an ocslittating wire with parallell wire  hanging off a standoff. itf too funny to me.
yes all digital except one source tunes their DAC math to 435hz to be more correct to Verdi and other great composers.
ive got tuning forks over the audio and above spectrum and tune my panios violins etc to them 432 hz
and need to say again. yes please do everything Analoge
to correct your sound system, its been done in churches,music halls,the great pyrmids, with instruments themselves.
but do not chase the rabbit down the money hole to fix apparent physhoacoustics in your listening area.

ps the spelling and writing is horrid cause ive got a brain injury2 years ago and under go EEG,ehthesographs and neuro studies constantly. where various frequency sweeps are put thru me and studied by the medical and commercial fields.
Im off for now to play my bass thru 50000watts total. and resonate the neighborhood at 8.2 HZ....

w.r.t to the Evo Mahgister,

https://www.criticalsound.co.nz/assets/Uploads/Review-EVO-432-Dutch-Translation-Music-Emotion.pdf

If you want to play around with resampling, learn how to use GNU Octave, a freeware math package. You can load in a WAV file and do whatever you want with it. No cost.


From a musical point of view, it is still interesting to describe what the EVO does in 432 fashion.In fact, you are transposing, because you play the music in a different key.The A on the keyboard is not quite a Gis, but something in between.The music is thus not fully transposed to the scale of Gis.That sounds (in the ears of the undersigned) light alienating and sometimes here and there dissonant, especially if you have the voices of artists in your head.So a piece of music gets a different atmosphere.A curious sensation is listening to piano or guitar in 432 mode.It experiences as listening to an instrument that is not properly tuned.

....hey....the sturm und drang stopped....the sun’s out....everyone seems to have sheathed their weapons....

Wonder never ceases....*S*

I’ve heard of the 440/432 debate, which strikes me as a search for the ’roots’ of music, and how it all began. *L* As we as a species have spent a considerable amount of time hangin’ around a fire rather than ’modern instruments’ (and much less with audio reproduction systems), it holds a certain fascination....

Lately, I’ve been enjoying these folks....

"Krigsgaldr" is one that I enjoy...and Ms.Franz voice in it can raise the hair on the back of your neck....in a pleasant fashion. ;) Don’t have to be concerned about the wolves, after all...*G*

I think I may try something ’GNU’ with it, just to see what it does...

Thanks, Geo...and David. Something interesting to pursue....;)

 it's very simple

"everything affects everything else" and the only way you are going to find out is "do". All the rest is really want-a-bee talk or internet trolling.

This year I have seen many HEA audiophiles dump their gear and go low mass and tunable (thanks). Some of these folks are members here who have told me "never going back". So to these members some of you guys look pretty silly :)

Hi Tunees, thanks for your emails and PMs! Is the activity here shrinking by big numbers or have I missed something? Stereophile died because of trolling, is the same happening here?

>>>>No, everything’s fine, Michael. It’s very active. Thanks for trolling. I mean thanks for asking. Oops, my faux pas!
