Hello everyone! I was wondering if some of you could help me with this.
I’ve read rtings.com’s little blurb on their PRTF accuracy measurement numerous times and understand what they do to measure this, but I’m still confused as to the relevance of the stat to my listening experience. Isn’t imaging primarily responsible for giving accurate positional information to the Pinna? How would PRTF accuracy differ from that? What does a natural soundstage sound like? I have an Audio Technica ATH M40x (does very well on this test) and a Philips SHP 9500 (does poorly on the test) but I’m not convinced the ATH M40x sounds more natural...
Any help would be greatly appreciated
