replyAs an audio engineer I'm well aware of how decibels work and why we use them.
You're talking about subjective perception but I'm talking about objective measurements.
Objectively we care about the amount of information in the signal, not air movement. Air movement is just a medium which conveys information. It's not just "subjective perception", it's the meaning of the process.
replyI'm stating an objective measurable fact not arguing about semantics or meaning, whatever that is for you.
replyThis whole thread is about subjective perception, other than yours
replyThat's your interpretation.
replyWhen someone claims that vinyl has less than half the DR of a CD then I think it's important to clarify how big of a difference it actually is. I would imagine HN would care about 16bits vs aprox 10bits of dynamic range.
