I'm very cranky.

Does anyone else notice the trend appearing? By 100 votes, they will be split @ 33% each ....

Next poll, thanks

(and may I suggest, a no-comment poll to boot, in order to avoid persuasion)

Yes, 33% would be interesting and tell a lot! So lets see (also, hence the importance of 100 votes or more).

Cheers!

How do you create a non-comment poll btw? Is that possible? I would actually like to hear people's comments so I think this is fine. Next poll will have more audible differences, I promise! (well, I try to change the audio clip to something easier to listen to, that is, more stereo elements, more elements in general).

Cheers!

A: "Veiled" in comparison to B & C. Less "immediate". Bass seems a bit tubbier with more overhang than B & C.

B: More "open," and cleaner than A. Punchier than A. Less bass tubiness (I don't mean like an actual "tube" sound, but rather "bloated". I.e: "Tubby")

C: Cleanest & Punchiest. Bass is "faster/quicker" with less overhang. More revealing & open sounding. My preference on this particular system (see below).

System: Event PSP8's in very quiet, painstakenly non-scientifically treated room, mostly with ASC tube traps. Monitors are also sitting on custom 16" ASC monitor stands, fed by a modified Adcom GFA535 amp (circa 1987) with no preamp; it's connected directly to an EMU 1820M. I mix relatively close to these monitors; about three to four feet, and they sound awesome in this setup. Haven't liked them as much in other setups.

I've been engineering for over 20 years and am also a drummer, so I know my ears aren't the greatest anymore, even though I've conciously protected them over the years. Even so, I can still hear differences in these arguably slightly different files. Thanks for posting this.

C sounds best. Although the transients of the clips are not really the best, in file C the transients are cleaner. I also have a slight impression of higher distortion inthe C-file transients. Therefore i'd guess, the transients are cleaner due to overtone processing.

Awesome descriptions guys!

I liked snippet B most, but I'm was using crappy PC speakers! The difference between them didn't seem striking.

Yeah. The cat wants out of the bag. Dish.

I'm down with "C", clearer and punchier than the rest (although the differences sounded pretty subtle over here).

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, BMANIC.... SPILL THE BEANS

KVR Audio

Non-scientific little poll. Vote with intuition.

Which of these sound snippets sound the best?
