What's new?

 

  • 3/21/08
    Summarizing statement added to the Home page.

  • 3/12/08
    A little homage to special friends:  Russ Riley,   Lyman Miller,   Brian Elliott

  • 3/10/08
    Added an Analog to digital conversion page to Digital Photo Processes. 

  • 2/29/08
    Added a Sharpness page to my camera investigation.


  • 2/25/08
    Added photos from my Audio Artistry era to the Links page.

  • 2/22/08
    I added an addendum to Suggestions and hearing.


  • 2/20/08
    I am posting the Digital Photo Processes pages. This will highlight my limited bandwidth issues and probably force me into a more costly hosting plan. But then there is always the Website CD.


  • 2/15/08
    A 1999 paper by B. Moore that deals with "Controversies and mysteries in spatial hearing" came to my attention again. I had forgotten about it. It would have helped me to understand the reason for the surprising similarity between an omni and a dipole in a reverberant room right away.


  • 2/13/08
    It is likely that the website will be down on the 21st day of each month due to heavy traffic, but it will always resume on the 22nd when my 50 GB/mo bandwidth allowance period starts up again. 


  • 1/1/08
    I added the "cocktail party effect" to the paragraph about "Sound stream segregation" on the "Recording for stereo" page. Some readers were apparently confused about what Don is trying to accomplish.

  • 12/22/07
    In case you wondered why the website was shut down yesterday for several hours, I had reached my monthly bandwidth allowance of 50 Gigabyte. Today starts a new monthly pay period with my ISP. If you own the Website CD, then you have access to 99% of the information here at all times and you probably will not notice any future interruption. 

  • 12/20/07-3
    The UK Chapter of the Audio Engineering Society keeps a full record of monthly talks on its website. The great variety of audio related subjects is educational and interesting.

  • 12/20/07-2
    I receive about 300 email messages per day. 98% of that is junk and I just pull out those that have a relevant subject line. So be clear with the subject if you want to get through my Spam filter. Before writing please read my CAUTION.

  • 12/20/07-1
    The Orion User Group is a good place to ask questions, get help and make contact. It also applies to PLUTO. 

  • 12/19/07-2
    If you are thinking of designing a box loudspeaker, then read Loudspeaker System Design. It covers many fundamental issues.

  • 12/19/07-1
    A reminder to those who have bought documentation from LINKWITZ LAB. On the cover is the URL for a support page. Check it for the latest updates.

  • 12/18/07-2
    My recent talk in London gives a summary of what has been learned here about loudspeaker design for accurate sound reproduction in relatively small rooms. ORION+ and PLUTO+ embody the key features that a loudspeaker must have. I hope that these prototypes will stimulate eventually some new loudspeaker developments for the high-end audio market so that a wider audience can hear what a simple 2-channel sound system is capable of. I am not holding my breath, though. The industry, its marketers and commentators are firmly locked into vented boxes and no fresh air comes in. Besides, the profit in this business is in cables, spikes, room tuning, etc. and now compact speakers for the iPod generation, but their hearing might be already damaged.

    The first and last links in the left hand column should let you find quickly what is new on the website by pointing to this page. This new page also gives me a convenient place to add timely comments.
