In the Thread: Some thoughts about bass in high-end audio.
Post Subject: The video thoughts have brought questions to mindPosted by rowuk on: 8/22/2021
The idea of high quality delay makes me wonder if the delay effectively increases the virtual length of the room - allowing longer wavelengths before the room Schroeder frequency is reached. This would be a "softer" bass without the room compression.
I also wonder if the tube/SS "amplification problem" is also related here - at bass frequency XX, the room is smaller than the wavelength and turns into a compression chamber - articulating harder and with uncontrolled decay.
Certain large scale recordings have more cloudlike bass when I open all of the doors in my listening room, effectively diffusing the "compression chamber". Other, more primitive music very much benefits from the doors closed pressure chamber (like bass in a car).
The video format is getting easier for me. Keep them coming!Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
