The innovations actually are based on real world implementation and designs I invented and pioneered years ago with the GH50JM Edition Headphones (which the manufacture liked so much they actually made it into a global production model called the JM Edition- using scatter technology in the front of the driver). Later on I came up with another idea to use the Fractal Mesh on the front of the Kennerton GH50 JM Edition Mk2 which is only done by me at my shop. And then again latter realized it can be applied to better the stock models of the Kennerton Rognir and The Kennerton Vali (those models of JM Editions never went into production because it uses my proprietary M Fractal Fiberglass Mesh™and JM Fractal Porous Graphene Carbon™ and I didnt want that put into production its too handmade intense to do and very expensive for me and probably wouldn't be practical for manufacturing. Sorry im getting off topic... I modded hundreds of those headphones , people who owned them before and after. People who had both unmodded and modded on hand to directly compare. Like Kennerton. I guess people can hear a difference with scatter technology. I have on numerous occasions had customers that even came to my work shop to compare the differences of with and without my applied innovations. I had sound engineers who mastered hundreds of albums in their life time for huge labels also come and spend 6 hours + with me as we went back and forth between modded and non-modded. Latter, I adopted the technology inside the Hifiman R7 (I set out to make a $99 - $149 headphone like the Hifiman R7DX sound as good if not better than $500+ or more headphones) and Hifiman R9 and R10 (trying to elevate the performance with same technologies) - Many dozens if not hundreds who already owned the originals and compared at the same time another pair modded- and again same conclusions. For a major of ASR contributor to discount years of my work - to called it pseudoscience or as that person said BS is to call all innovations BS that use similar technologies. You think I am the first to use scatter technology? Well actually in headphones I was one of the first if not the first. But others use it too: the DCA Stealth/Expanse with Meta Material, and the ABYSS with porous aluminum - or another well known American Headphone company that uses a similar Back Wave System / Damping System. All headphone companies trying to improve perceived sound while simultaneity preserving the original signal. What just because you say so- its bs ? My work is based work by others who wrote books based on sound back to the 1970's. My work is based on dozens and dozens of papers written by smarter people than me. It's an evolution and process based on proven scattering technologies that now I use in front and in back of the driver.
I really don't want to address or discuss my technologies and other peoples technologies on how they arrived where they arrived and how I arrived - we are all innovating. But when someone calls BS - I had to chime in- when you have read as much as I have since before puberty - applied for patents and work as hard as I do to make things sound better- and then actually have people verify by direct comparison and have other companies adopt your innovations in their production - well I don't know who you are or what headphones you actually manufacture- but I'm sure they are only based on measurements and not theories that translated in to actual practice.
I will not be engaging in back and forth. I will let my customers speak for me. I know if you can't measure it- it never happened. Well I would like to see a measurement of a frequency such as white noise or a test tone convey depth or stage or emotion in headphones. The reason I won't debate or go back and forth is measurements have their place I use them all the time to match drivers and match tunings but they will never ever convey emotional connection with the music or capture musical instruments in 3d space. There is a reason fractals exist in nature. There is a reason our ear is shaped like a Nautilus shell. Like our galaxy, spirals, the golden ratio and fractals like the Mandelbrot set have always interested me since I was 14- I have a few of books on the golden ratio and the fractals - probably 8 or 9 good books I can recommend if you are interested.
Some of the papers I have also used in my research:

As I said, I'm not here to debate or prove theories based on these papers. I use it in practice- I hand tune each and every single headphone by hand for my customers and try my best to figure out what they want by lengthy conversations with them - which headphones they like and don't like and what equipment they own so I can match that to either a 32ohm, 64ohm or 300 ohm drivers -I am offering a service no one I know of does at any price.
BTW- I offered Amir a chance to TEST: 1 modded R9 Hifiman- 1 non Modded Hifman R9 and another as a control non modded - I litterality sent him 3 headphones to test - you know what Amir did? He sat on them for 7-8 months. By then I already developed three other Versions with improvements because that's what I do is always innovate and try to improve- by then it was pointless to wait a year for a test review from Amir. I know he was busy he kept saying. I get it. So am I. I will let my customers speak for how they hear it and let you measurement people have their debate after I leave. I know if a tree falls and no one is there to hear it did Amir get a SINAD out of it? I love ASR and that's why I sent the R9s for testing. I read Amir's and ASR stuff all the time - I am information junkie. But let me get back to work as you should as well.
