Re: Yep

Steve : ""Let's say the wire did delay the 12kHz info more than 1.5 uS more than it delayed the 1.2kHz information. What has that to do with inter-aural time delay?""

Beats me...:-)

For an impact sound, like a cow bell or sumptin, the location of the bell's image is determined (near center stage) by the left right time delay.

IFF that time delay is different for different frequencies, that will cause the different spectral components of the image to appear to be at different locations in space, smearing of the image.

I've witnessed that when I used a (very bad), 11 band, eq on my system. The end result of my playing with that eq was a sibilance component of female vocals that was to one side of the rest of her voice..ugly, at best.

For a wire to do this, each channel would have to do that shift in different ways, to give the same effect. Or, the wire caused the amp to do such, in some as yet unknown fashion...

That implies a non linear handling of the current at different frequencies, and the channel content, being different, as causing some different shifts within each channel....

I've not seen or measured such, but at least Nordmark is implying that 20Khz Fr/phase is not looking deeply enough..

Hey...it's a start...certainly not found, maybe never. but an avenue...

Cheers, John
