Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion?

I spend a lot of time in Company experiencing different Sources, i.e Vinyl, CD and even Streaming of late.

Along with this there are Cables, Phono Amp's, Pre-Amp's, Power Amp's and Speakers put into service to be scrutinised be a Group of experienced audio enthusiasts, that have approx' 200 years of being quite interested in and owning audio systems under their belts as a group.

I can assure that at times the whole of the follow up descriptions can be largely gobbledygook, as there are times when each individual has locked on to a frequency that another had not been effected by, or overlooked the frequency and was more attuned to detailing and dynamics.

These items produced during a replay, that become a sticking point, are in my view related to ones mood at the time of the occasion, as mood brings out variances of sensitivities.     

It is quite common for individuals with a certain preference to have a leaning toward a certain range of the produced frequency.

I have been at demo's of equipment with the designer/Director of one of the UK's very well known Audio Companies. What is apparent from their assessments is that they are High Frequency Sensitive, I am Bass Sensitive.

When assessments are encouraged, I am stating the Bass is anaemic, and the other is stating the Treble is very projected.

I have no recollection of the High Frequency being very noticeable, but that could be a result of where I was seated during the demo' of that particular audio item.
