It's measured by tonality. There is a guide book that tells you what stuff should sound like. You know, the tools people use to listen.

Also any audible distortion will pull the sound from the dash to the speaker. It's pretty obvious.

Considering that no two people are alike wouldnt it be fair to say that it is subjective?

Once you record the output and overlap it to the studio recording you dont know tge accuracy of the output vs tge input.. So its subjective. Plain and simple.

You even uunderstand hormonic distortion?

Hormonic distortion and phase distortion are different so is comb filtering and breakup..

Do you understand how to setup a reference system? And no it's not subjective. A finger snap sounds like a finger snap. It don't sound like a dog barking. Do you know what a phantom image is? Do you know any tonal incorrect image will smear and shift?

I'll put a $100 on you not knowing what song has 10% THD and the one that has 1%

KMSL. have you LOOKED at the waveform of a finger snap? like i said its subjective and we have the technology to actually compare the input signal to the output signal. we will talk about SQ when you can do that.. other than that your trying to convince me of anything is pointless. i already know better.

ill applaud you if you can in your own words explain to me what THD is fundamentally and how if affects sound..

I'm putting my money where my mouth is. Let talk about that. Or you can just try to beat me since you know so much, that shouldn't be a problem.

like im going to drive to Florida lol. send me the two files. unlabeled just one and two.. ill listen to them.. its not that you cant hear it.. its is there a difference.. like i said if you knew what harmonic distortion is you would know there is a difference. the human threshold is 1%.

by your standard i should just set my gains to 10% THD since i cant hear it..

im waiting for the write up.. shouldn't be hard for you in your own words to describe something you can find on the web. ESP since your well seasoned..

FYI i can tell the difference when i play trombone between being flat or sharp. same with the instruments i am familiar with as well. you CAN tune them by ear but its more accurate to fine tune them measuring the actual output. same point im trying to make..

The human threshold is way higher then 1%. You would know that if you where as smart as you think you are. I'll be coming your way early next year. Get your car built.

kmsl. ok..

"One oddity is that at the louder tones of 100 dB and 110 dB, the lower frequencies are better at masking high order harmonics than the higher frequency tones, but not the lower frequency harmonics. For example, at 110 dB, a 20 Hz tone will mask a 2nd harmonic up to 5% of the total output and a 100 Hz tone will mask a 2nd harmonic for up to 2.5%, but for the same loudness level, a 20 Hz tone will only mask a 5th harmonic up to 0.4% while the 100 Hz tone masks the 5th harmonic up to 0.9%. This is counterintuitive to what one would expect from viewing a equal loudness chart, as the steeper slope of human sensitivity at deep frequencies would seem to indicate that further harmonics would be especially audible. This effect is due to the fact that the measured harmonic bands of the lower frequencies are much narrower than the higher frequencies; the 5th harmonic of 10 Hz and 20 Hz is to 50 Hz and 100 Hz respectively, while for 50 Hz and 100 Hz it goes to 250 Hz and 500 Hz. However the masking band of frequencies below 300 Hz remains constant due to a characteristic in our hearing known as critical bands."

again someone is fooling into thinking you cannot hear 10% THD by using harmonic distortion that is masked in a specific test with a specific induced THD when truth is music and components can add several different orders that aren't always going to be masked..

ill leave the link here so you can read it..

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): Is It a Good Indicator of Sound Quality? | Audioholics

again I DARE you to crank the gains up till you reach 10% thd and re-listen. you sound like a **** fool to me..

Oh my ******* god you are dense. You do know there are different kinds of distortion right? Clipping, crossover? That's not the same thing.
