Same, that's been my hope too. Stuff is getting so complex nowadays with modern microcode/firmware and such, and there's so many things that seem like "magic" to me. Feeling like something is "magic" is my internal signal that somebody figured out some clever way to get around what I think is/was the limitations, and I love discovering people's clever hacks. Recently been reading about Fake Bass (which is how small speakers seemingly violate the laws of physics by producing bigger bass than they are capable of) and how they accomplish this by (ab)using harmonics to trick the brain into hearing deeper notes than are actually tere. Fascinating stuff!
