Frankly, the numbers don't mean very much at all in the real world,
other than to a designer or manufacturer - for example, the frequency
range of a full orchestra is only about 40-14k and the *dink dink* 'Top
C' on a piano is only about 4096 Hz with only weak (inaudible for most
purposes) harmonics extending beyond 10 kHz....

If the harmonics were inaudible it would sound like a sine wave. So
nothing like a piano at all.

I'm amazed at you. You go on and on about the subtle differences you claim
to hear then come up with rubbish like this...



Plowie, you really got to stop *making things up* - it does you no credit
whatsoever! I have never posted that I can hear subtle differences - quite
the reverse (as ****ing usual), in fact I have only just this moment replied
to Don to effectively say I accomodate differences almost too quickly to
make other than 'night and day' comparisons between subtle changes in kit.
It's *why* I ask the milkman for his opinion....

....except that we don't have a milkman...

As the the utter ******** regarding the mention of Top C on a piano - do you
think I *invented* the phrase 'inaudible for most purposes'...?? Or, to put
it your way: So you don't know that progressively higher orders of harmonics
become increasingly inaudible...??

Now stop clutching at straws and go see my reply to Don - lots for you to
get your knife into there....
