@kr4 indeed, who likely listens to their systems more? Those of us who listen to our systems when making component purchases and set up decisions, or those who look at numbers and graphs? Put another way, do those of us who trust our ears listen to our systems more than people who do not trust their hearing to reliably choose ‘better sound’? And if you can’t trust your ears to arrive at better sound, how do you know if you have better sound in the first place? It seems to me people who don’t trust their ears, who have a fanatical opposition to those of us who do, are probably in the wrong hobby which at the end of the day, is all about enjoying our systems which is of course, totally subjective.
Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists?
When these two camps retire to their listening rooms, which school of thought tends to get better sound? Those who ultimately place their faith in measurements above actually listening to their systems? Or those of us who look at measurements, but ultimately make our decisions based on what subjectively sounds best to us?

lol, a very different type of ‘objectivist.’ In fact villains in an Ayn Rand novel are precisely the types we see here pontificating why certain things in our systems cannot possible work and for which they have little of no direct experience. Clever comment 😂 |
