[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 129406, member: 126"] Re: New Midas M32 Console There are well known frequency response wrt loudness phenomenon (Fletcher-Munson). So all else equal your frequency response will be wider the louder the signal (within reason). This is the oldest trick in the book for hifi retail, right after putting speakers in corners or on room boundaries to get some free output, while hearing a crappy signal better (louder) is not really a benefit. Yes, professionals should be aware of these phenomenon and be able to listen through such well known phenomena, but then we would never get these anecdotal reports about significant audible differences where there is not expected to be any (by me at least). I have always found that I can measure things that I cannot hear, and I never heard something that I could not measure (while back in the '70s I did have to roll some semi-custom test equipment). I still decline to argue with people about what they hear.. I only know what I can and can not hear. More or less but these days less.
