ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS


Is it just me or am I the only one that has had it with overly pushy audiophiles that push measurements as the end all be all. I’m not talking about healthy discussions on measurements but obnoxious ones that talk down to you because of the measurements of your system or equipment is not perfect for them? All cables and cords are snake oil to them if it doesn’t register on their meters? Am I the only that feels this way?

Physics is physics, and math is math. Those are usually not open to debate. 

Sorry, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Science is always open to debate. That’s why most of what we know about physics today is called scientific theories, not necessarily laws. Einstein questioned Newton’s theory of gravity and found holes in it. Oppenheimer asked why the atoms couldn’t be split and did it. Science is always open for discussion. We are still not sure what light is: particles of energy or electromagnetic waves? It can be argued both ways. I wholeheartedly agree with your last paragraph though.
