Axel, you have absolutely no idea what far you off in what you say about it. It has absolutely nothing to do with linearity and I feel that anything hardly might be measurable at this point. It is more like cooking a soup and putting a in a very delicate amount of Bay Laurel leaf. The effect is very insignificant but it I there and it is very well understood if it is what you are looking and willing to appreciate. From my side I just absolutely adore the effect and I would say that it is what I was dreaming and was searching for years and years.
It is very difficult to describe if you do not know what it is. It more feels like a very subtle touch of tonal hoarseness mixed with a strange sense of throaty most fogginess, strange but very delicate and very alluring. I have a local guy visited me list night and after the very first peace I played to him I asked him if he felt anything that he is not accustomed. He said that it sound “funky”. I do not like the description of funkiness but I demonstrated to him that I can easily moderate that the “funkiness”. As soon I reduced the funkiness then he imidetaly asked to bring it back as it just feels much more interesting.
Anyhow, I do not need to refer to what others say I know what I say. What I say that this Critical Audio Tune or more accurately to say Off-Tune is VERY interesting method and it produces remarkable result. I can’t refer to you to the related things and I never heard anything similar in audio. All that I would say that the last night I played my reference “absolute-tone-calibration record” for my visitor and I realized that it was well beyond of where I was able to take it before.
For now my bogusly-named “Critical Audio Tune” method stays with me.
