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?

@invalid sure…try that w speakers…. and a good dmm is more rare here than an SPL meter….

@mdalton ah…wonderful map..

To paraphrase some wisdom : If you don’t know where your going, any glass ( road ) will get you there…

But with Scotch, all who wander are not lost..

The 75 would also be 2 rich for me. I received a bottle of Mac 25 upon my retirement… that’s likely my one time apogee….

thx for sharing the map. 

@immersifi_recording_services 

Few…very few

my ? about who has and spl meter and level match when evaluating single variable chages… are typically met with -120 db… silence

@mdalton Bravo man….i will have some of what you are drinking and listening to….

Im a Talisker w ice slick listener myself….

physics and math might be absolutes, our understanding of the entirety of both ( and much more ) is what is VERY lacking…  i’m deeply involved in the bleeding edge of quantum computing…. oh how easy it…could be… 

Susan Rogers book is excellent….if you are open minded to art and science…

Like most things…there is very useful RESEARCH being done on the ear / brain… vs willy nilly measurements and silly 8 out of ten validity criteria….

The music induced goosebump hedonic treadmill can be intoxicating …my plan is to stay on it as long as possible….
