Audiophile

An audiophile is a person who is passionate about high-quality audio reproduction and is deeply interested in achieving the best possible audio experience. Audiophiles are known for their dedication to high-fidelity sound and often invest a significant amount of time and money in pursuit of audio perfection. Audiophiles often invest in premium audio equipment, including amplifiers, speakers, headphones, turntables, and other components. They believe that the quality of their equipment significantly impacts the overall sound experience. Audiophiles pay attention to the acoustic properties of their listening spaces. They may use acoustic treatments and room calibration to optimize the sound quality. They are often may be meticulous about the cables and connectors used in their audio setups, as they believe that these components can influence sound quality. Audiophiles engage in critical listening sessions to evaluate the sound quality of their audio systems. They focus on aspects such as clarity, imaging, soundstage, tonal balance, and dynamics THD (total harmonic distortion), SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), and frequency response, which they use to evaluate and compare audio equipment.

AI Technical Trustability Update

While working on an update to my RF Cafe Espresso Engineering Workbook project to add a couple calculators about FM sidebands (available soon). The good news is that AI provided excellent VBA code to generate a set of Bessel function plots. The bad news is when I asked for a table showing at which modulation indices sidebands 0 (carrier) through 5 vanish, none of the agents got it right. Some were really bad. The AI agents typically explain their reason and method correctly, then go on to produces bad results. Even after pointing out errors, subsequent results are still wrong. I do a lot of AI work and see this often, even with subscribing to professional versions. I ultimately generated the table myself. There is going to be a lot of inaccurate information out there based on unverified AI queries, so beware.
