The Pleasure of Square Waves

Who likes square waves? If an article I read today is correct, then the answer is not many people. I’m researching DSD vs PCM systems in high end audio discs, and came across an experiment conducted at ’surround professional 2002′. You can read it here: http://www.smr-home-theatre.org/surround2002/technology/page_07.shtml

The quote: “Anderson was quick to point out that a square wave is not the most pleasurable or representative musical experience (as anyone who’s ever heard one can readily attest).”

I happen to love square waves. In fact, I think of an A Minor square wave chord to relax when I’m having a busy day. Crazy? Maybe, but it works for me!
