[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 962502, member: 144"] If he referred to phenomena pertaining to the reproduction and/or perception of music - Bunk. With all due respect to the speaker, I would have liked him to point out such. (I am referring to measuring instrumentation of say, the past ten years.) Chokes are part of such filters. Again with due respect, if he was referring to timing issues and such that were audible to human hearing but not measurable, likewise. [I did my thesis on digital audio work, including audible effects caused by sampling filters at the end of digital amplifiers. All of that was clearly measurable by instrumentation, even in those years. (Just for the record, I got a modest 100% for my thesis, so I must have done something right . . .)] (Caveat: I do not know the speaker and am not diminishing him or his knowledge. I simply refer to the quoted remarks.) I would further add with reference to hearing tests, it is known that, even with blind tests, suggestivity and brain-expectation can play a role unless a number of tests has been performed. One is surprised that so rarely in audio tests, the changeability of hearing remains unmentioned as a factor. For all its wonderful characteristics, hearing is a relatively poor measuring instrument.
