Hi everyone, I can't stay out of this, even if I perhaps should.
At http://klas.telinga.com/SSM-SASS/ there is a comparison between
the Telinga SSM and the SASS. I put up this site only to ask a few
people that I trust, to say their opinions.
The site is messy and you have to read the track descriptions
carefully. But it does give an impression on how different, or alike,
two systems can be. The microphone capsules are the same.
Bernie, about Curts rig and the "Murie" mike,
It seems to me as if our brain (hearing) mostly is quite pleased with
getting some "clues" about what is happening and that unconscious
processes, based on experience, add what is lacking. In this issue
about mini-mic's, it means that the brain only needs a stereo "reach
out" at some higher frequencies and adds the rest by experience.
This is supported by recent psychological experiment on seeing. There
are evidence that the brain can take decisions much faster than what
ever reaches our conscious part of the brain, simply by getting some
"clues" and then adding, based on experience and probability. It's
really a revival of Freud, actually, but in other words and focusing
on perception.
If so, it might explain why I "feel" the difference between different
mic systems and also between different loudspeaker systems. Some
systems seem to make "emotional sense", while others do not. It could
be that some systems make my brain work hard to fill the gaps,
(stress) while other systems already contains most of what my brain
needs, (tranquility).
It's a speculation, but it would partly explain "why it works" when
it "shouldn't". The Murie mike "worked" but I never "felt"
comfortable with it, even though I tried and tried. Instead of
enjoying what I heard, I was all the time busy thinking about what
would happen if the capsules were more apart, or more angled out, or
closer, or.... what? I could never relax to what I heard.
Klas.
