【 Weak current College 】 on distortion---Power By 【 China power house network 】

Distortion is a fear of hated words, probably because of its negative meaning. All along, in audio products, distortion is an important pointer. But for enthusiasts, the distortion of the true meaning? when a signal is transmitted to or through the zoom, in theory, to maintain and the original signal is completely intact is not possible, therefore, from a technical perspective, people always want its distortion as small as possible. But in recent years, the most experienced enthusiasts will agree, in the sense of hearing, the distortion on this target cannot effectively reflect the degree of good sound equipment. As just mentioned, since the signal after transmission or enlarge cannot maintain and completely original signal, which must appear in some of the changes, this change is what? " are generally more " and " reduce ". " Reduce " these concepts easier to understand, that is, the raw signal transmission or amplification process lost something. As for " " Gado is more complex content, in simple terms, is in the process of transferring or enlarge, derive some signals from both original and different from the original signal. Because these are the original does not have, so it can only be a distortion of some of the content.
Interested in listening to these derivatives are sometimes harbored magical effects, for example, some new harmonic, clearly played a role as MSG, like people will feel that the addition of sound more musical. If the microphone effect (microphonic) also provides some enthusiasts as the tuning of an effective means. Even the phase shift (PhaseShift), this one sounds like a good thing, or you can skillfully used to beautify the timbre. In the recording process of incorporating the incentive effect makes bass impulse force more sturdy, is to use a phase shift of this thing. So the one to finally listen to choice, shout, because if the distortion of any harm to distortion " replaced beautification of ", " monosodium glutamate or ", believe that people's resistance will be greatly reduced, whereas another school mainly engineers, but loud " said digital is better " louder (numbersdon ' tlie). This controversy, what is wrong?; here, we do not have this concept enthusiasts, because most people might be inclined to believe that enthusiasts are some tranced geek, the above argument about what people will have the greatest impact? the answer is like the sound of people, this is English of Audiophile, HiFi enthusiasts.
As for who is the audio enthusiasts, which itself has been much controversy. I think this should cover all like audio technology and music, but it should not be limited to possess priceless HiEnd equipment a handful. Believe that the majority of readers in developing audio hobby, often is like listening to music, first contact or use will be some of the equipment. I remember when the primary three follow the big boy next door together yourself ore radio, when coming from Crystal earplugs, unforgettable music and, of course, Crystal earplugs can offer low frequency, but its frequency transients, and treble performance, are not ordinary transistor radio small speakers can match. Although later know AM radio-frequency only 7KHz, even harmonic is not high, but in that year to 10KHz simple ore radio has started on my back and a long history of fever. Also remember that many years ago to Hong Kong Station to listen to their first 4 monthly concerts in the not too big of a recording room listening to piano solo. Felt very good, natural timbre permeability. So the heart, how to put before the piano two bile miles, the third branch of the hanging high for the purpose of collecting the ambience, the mixer adjustment through bile equipment before ... Want to get very far. But when you return to the field of music, I quickly realized, to reproduce the effects, to regain the then listener feel, perhaps even for humans. Back to previous arguments, mainly in enthusiasts and those that can be called a subjectivism (subjectivist), they adhere to the current level of understanding and to the distortion is still very limited use, the distortion of the measure and not the whole story. As regards to engineers as one can be called Objectivism (objectivist), they adhere to the scientific methods to measure and to distinguish equipment. Reality can by contradiction, we look at various kinds of distortion is found, measured, and the people identify countermeasures, such as total harmonic distortion, when improvements it brings the original TIM transient intermodulation distortion; for example, CD jitter, was found and deal with, it is only in recent years. As for the two parties who, I think they are all on the controversial, because they are not the same thing. Enthusiasts in fact unconsciously listening to interested finding their own preferences, but engineers are trying to objectively identify the measurement equipment standards. Therefore the answer to the argument is an objective measurement standards does not determine the subjective personal preferences.
Some people like passive fore, objections, suddenly everyone to upgrade to what music sensation on the controversy, such as abstract noun, in fact, it's just two personal preferences, are two different subjective stance.
Indeed, they argue, in fact, not the music playback performance, but rather two fore their unique sound. Whether the signal passes through both, " numbers with many ", how many " have reduced ", engineers into which can drain the solution to disputes, or causes more turbid muddy water. All this, by the readers themselves down the answer.
