Thermoacoustics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoacoustics
Thermoacoustic effects can be observed when partly molten glass tubes are connected to glass vessels. Sometimes spontaneously a loud and monotone sound is produced. A similar effect is observed if a stainless steel tube is with one side at room temperature (293 K) and with the other side in contact with liquid helium at 4.2 K

Both techniques take advantage of something called the photoacoustic effect, which is the formation of sound waves as the result of a material absorbing light. In the case of the MIT research, that material was water vapor in the air. 
For one of their methods, the researchers “swept” a laser beam at the speed of sound, changing the length of the sweeps to encode different audible pitches.
後者就是以光modulate聲音。

籠裡的猴、香蕉、噴水與太平洋電纜

和老音響迷談到電源,都會提到太平洋電纜...
試問,太平洋的真的比較好?比誰的好?你真的比過?是誰比過?指的出來?該不會根本就沒這個人存在吧...
再問,到底好在哪?嘿...說不定根本就沒人知道...
說不定根本是個謠言...

正好拿這個著名的實驗當例證 https://www.thenewslens.com/article/87723
"五隻猴子和香蕉"的實驗,原來從未發生?

吾等樂迷 -- 台南湯湯

二十幾年來,台灣音響圈一直鼓吹喇叭和聆聽位置各踞房間兩端1/3處,而且喇叭要離牆面遠,這招有其道理,但效果可以好到啥程度?這招就夠了嗎?正好以湯湯這個例子來看看。

湯湯這房間是台南鄉下透天的三樓,擁西與南二面窗景,這般冬日暖陽下真是閒散舒適啊...
照片?老樣子,我沒拍,看主人家是否願意分享囉~
房間格局略近正方形,約4mx3.5m,喇叭與聆聽位置就照1/3位置擺,左右離牆面約近1m,這對Harbeth HL5喇叭間剩下不多,約1.5m;
聆聽位置與喇叭間也差不多1.5m,扣掉布沙發,其實喇叭前鋪著厚長毛地毯的空間還真不大,算來已經是盡量離牆面遠的大耳機聽法了;
這般照一般說法擺設出來的振幅頻率響應會如何?
來,先問,這張圖看來算好嗎?哪裡不好?
