Phys.org)—For the first time, physicists have found that humans can discriminate a sound’s frequency (related to a note’s pitch) and timing (whether a note comes before or after another note) more than 10 times better than the limit imposed by the Fourier uncertainty principle. Not surprisingly, some of the subjects with the best listening precision […]

Hi, and thanks for stopping here. Re the post below, we’d really, really like to know what you think. Have you got time to leave a comment? Thank you. Howard Popeck / Features Editor *************** We were having a discussion recently here in the office. Obviously we were chatting about Hi-fi and in particular how […]
“Records, aka LPs, have been around since the 1950s, so there are lots of them out there. I’ve bought great records for a buck or two at thrift shops and yard sales, and found them on the street for free, but records aren’t yesterday’s news; lots of young bands are releasing LPs. The way things […]
You love music, but even if you consider yourself a true audiophile, the cost of high-end sound can be, frankly, a little absurd. We talked with a handful of audio experts to find out how to get audiophile-calibre sound without emptying your savings account. Here’s what they had to say. Simply put, an audiophile […]
You would not believe how many e-mails I have received over time from fellow music lovers and audiophiles that start out with, “My Hi-Fi system sucks, I need some advice …” or a variation on that. Most of the time people ask me about getting a new piece of Hi-Fi gear that will remedy their […]

Acoustical engineering (also known as acoustic engineering) is the branch of engineering dealing with sound and vibration. It is the application of acoustics, the science of sound and vibration, in technology. Acoustical engineers are typically concerned with the design, analysis and control of sound. One goal of acoustical engineering can be the reduction of unwanted […]
Physical acoustics is the area of acoustics and physics that studies interactions of acoustic waves with a gaseous, liquid or solid medium on macro- and micro-levels. This relates to the interaction of sound with thermal waves in crystals (phonons), with light (photons), with electrons in metals and semiconductors (acousto-electric phenomena), with magnetic excitations in ferromagnetic […]
You might have heard of DSD audio, but what exactly is it? Here’s everything you need to know. In the last few years, digital audio has become a bit more complex than it used to be. You can listen to digital files in a wide variety of formats and we’ve written blog posts about these […]
Don’t feel embarrassed if, when watching this loudspeaker, you think what you see is a design speaker. It certainly looks as if it were a design speaker, and your belief surely would be justified in view of the fact that the speaker ended up being an item in the MoMA (NY) permanent collection as well […]
Although originally published in 2012 we feel this to be a worthwhile and relevant article. You love music, but even if you consider yourself a true audiophile, the cost of high-end sound can be, frankly, a little absurd. We talked with a handful of audio experts to find out how to get audiophile-calibre sound without […]
