I’ve heard it being used in several reviews and comments, most notably it’s column being removed from Crinacle’s database. I know it might generally deal with lower mids and higher bass, though I have no idea what it definitively is. I tried to find out what it is, but I couldn’t find any info other than mentions of it on several subreddits as well as Google. So what is note weight definitively, and why did Crinacle have a column for it in the first place, then neglect it and ultimately remove it?
Note weight is generally used to describe how substantial the note sounds to your ear. There’s a Cocteau Twins song called The Hollow Men and it opens up with a bass line that recedes into the background.
On my 7hz Timeless the bass sounds pretty pleasing but a little thin, on my FH7 the bass has a much thicker, more distinct and meatier quality that literally feels heavier on your eardrum, that’s why they call it that.
Slam. There are slam differences across lows mids and highs. Not just the lower spectrum.
