Dick Burwen
What do the various components of an audio system really do for the sound quality? Frequency response is vitally important and flat response is not what your ears really like. Dick Burwen discusses how to bring back the lost emotion in recorded sound and how to get better audio for your money. Applies to home, car, ipods, and cell phones. Available as a series of audio MP3 recordings, PDFs, or both, once or twice a month.

A lot of audio equipment sells based on the power of expectation. Even Dick Burwen has sometimes deceived himself into hearing what is not there. Some products make real sound improvement and some make imagined improvement. Many high end products just make a slight difference in frequency response that can be done better with an equalizer. Beware of two classes of products that just waste your money. Continue reading →

Make your speakers and program material sound a lot better by applying high frequency ambiance to produce thousands of ripples in the frequency response in combination with very fine tuned equalization.

Dick Burwen explains two types of frequency response - smooth and rippled. Audio electronics, tone controls, and equalizers have smooth response. What your ear really wants to hear is rippled response produced by reverberation at extreme high frequencies, way above existing real or artificial reverberation. It makes instruments sound musical and reduces high frequency imperfections in CDs and MP3s. The trend of the frequency response curve is equally important and should be tuned to within 0.1 decibel.
