Not mentioned in the article is something that surfaced in FI magazine (no longer published), that the hearing of different cultures is significantly different and it can be measured. The article explored how americans and the british hearing was differenct. In summary, it indicated there is something called a 'cultural equalizer'. Lay all that on the 'class' factor and you really have cognitive dissonance.
Food for thought for all us audiophiles
Hello fellow Audiogon members,
I came upon this article the other day. I'm afraid the sentiments revealed in it are all too common to those on the outside of our hobby.
Cheers,
