Hi-Fi News Feature Index |
|
|
|
Below is an index of the feature articles I’ve written
for Hi-Fi News since my debut in the May 2000 issue. Some magazine
journalists have an encyclopaedic recollection of what articles appeared
when; I don’t, even when the articles were my own, so I will certainly find
this useful. I hope you do also, to which end I will eventually attach a few
lines of comment about each piece, either to jog your memory or perhaps
inspire you to hunt it down. Back issues of HFN can be ordered by telephoning

Lossy Compression, part 1
An investigation of the performance of eight lossy
audio compression systems: ATRAC, Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS, ePAC, MPEG
Layer-2 (MP2), MPEG Layer-3 (MP3), MS Audio (WMA) and TAC. This first
instalment comprises a general introduction plus measurements of spectral and
temporal errors introduced by the codecs June Lossy Compression, part 2
In
this second instalment the performance of all eight codecs is assessed under blind
listening conditions across a range of data rates from 128kb/s upwards July
How Much Power?
Although
it is well known that music signals require an amplifier to deliver much
higher output power short-term than long-term, original assessments of the ‘power
envelope’ by NAD were rather crude. Here the opportunity is taken to assess
source material directly by ripping CD tracks to hard disk and analysing them
over time intervals from 2 to 4096 milliseconds August
