I have never said anyones system in not revealing enough to show differences in cables because I have always heard them and my system has not always been near the level its at now - it used to be pretty awful for a very long time. However I do know that my poor setup skill and lack of...
The thing thats important here is not seeing a change in a frequency response graph is not an indicator of the sound difference or not in a cable change - because its not an indicator or perceived sound quality. More an indicator of other things that can relate to sound quality for sure obviously.
Insider by the looks of what you have done you have found a spot in the room pretty flat from mid to treble devoid of as many reflections as possible, far from easy.
Then kept the signal volume quite low - or maybe that just the graph axis you have used somehow - I dont know how you would do...
Andy you profess to being very knowledgeable and you criticise here.
The "spiky nature" of the measurements is how actual freq resposne measurements look every single time.
That indicates to me you have never measured a speaker or a speaker in a room in which case how can you even comment on...
I don't know what your listening on but Audioquest Night owl carbons are now half price about 350 pound which is a great price for them, they are really nice headphones for that money
Using them and my phone is how I monitor the videos I make after to check.
Phone is a S9+
It's interesting because you are the second person to say that but not the only person to be critical of me so the numbers suggest people can hear the diffeences recorded
In fact I have surprised quite a few people with what I can record some is so clear you can hear it back on phone speakers...
That's a pointless answer a 20hz to 20khz sweep of fixed volume how freq is measured will measure the same regardless as to whether the sweep comes from a cd vinyl mp3 mini disc but they won't all sound the same playing music. How has that got anything to do with recording equipment.
If you play a sweep like you do for a speaker frequency resposne measurment it won't matter what the source is the result will be the same but the sound will be different your arguing something different
Either way the mics are the same for all recordings so any signature is imparted on every recording
I have already considered that and bought appropriae microphones to reduce that to its minimum
EDIT - you wouldnt see a difference in a speaker measurement difference such as frequency or...
according to your comment based on a frequency sweep vinyl tape mini disc 8 track CD mp3 will all sound the same as the speakers freq resposne will measure the same regardless of the source.
a frequency response is taken from a frequency sweep. Do you ever listen to any music that sounds like this? No it's not reflective of sound quality in anyway just sound translation which is just one indicator of getting good sound
also I would give a bad review if a product was bad but I have had all pretty much stellar products recently. I do point out the bits that are not right or could be better. All backed up by recordings and A/B demos
