Gargoyle,
I am going to tell you something that is very important and
that you hardly ever heard in audio. The
guys who are trying to do something in higher-end audio always attribute a lot
of attention and energy to tooling. For sure tools are important in audio, but
to a degree. There is much more important then tools – the applications of the
tool in order to get a desirable result. The application easy override the inferiority
of tool or able to compromise the best tools available out there. The improper application
of even the very good methods/tools is exactly where 99% of audio folks slip. It
is not even applications themselves but the discrimination of causality – the region
where most of audio people are clueless. Pretend you build your audio paper
horn and get some kind of result. Then you did the same horn from wood. Then
you mass loaded your paper horn with some kind of heavy wax, like Goto does.
Pretend you load the very same driver in all of them and get 3 distinctly diligent
results. You might think that you get the causality? Hm…. Not so simple. I can
give you reasoning why sound still might be different and it would not have
anything to do with material of the horn. So, what I always say and what audio people
do not understand is following: pick you topology and perfect it internally. Efforts
spent on PROPER perfection of your topology or tooling (presuming that they are
potent) will way overweight and expansion in new tooling. Also, always use the
main rule of my site:
