Anyone of you AES readers seen this paper?
http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=12465
I was just wondering if this work indicates the presence
of nonlinear distortion can result in positive
perception from most listeners?
The work indicates that the presence of enough nonlinear
distortion of certain kinds is audible.
"Psychoacoustical data were measured, correlation and
regression analysis were applied to examine the
relationship and predictive value of this new metric to
the subjective assessment of sound quality of nonlinear
distortion. Furthermore, conventional metrics such as
total harmonic distortion (THD) and intermodulation
distortion (IMD) were also compared. "
I'm interested in the subjective assessment of sound
quality.
Why not obtain the paper?
Oh, it costs a few bucks from the AES.
