How Science Got Sound Wrong

@erik_squires This really yanks your crank doesn't it? I knew noting about "Head Related Transfer Functions." etc and actually learned something from the article. He has a PhD and maybe had to write a book. 

Thanks for all the input. It had been about a month ago when I first read the article. FWIW, I am not  an electronics  tech or engineer. I am a music lover who loves to hear it as good as what I can afford. Many of you have given technical reasons for your disagreement. Great. I'm glad you are here (well.. so far) Even though  you  go way beyond my understanding I still learn something. I just know what I hear. And I'm pretty technical in how I come to my conclusions of what sounds best to me. And there is the rub...  what's best to me. The biggest question I have is this. How can an objective quantitative answer be given to such a subjective subject as music, its reproduction and one's interpretation of what they hear? Oh sure, we can give some ideas or thoughts about it. But our knowledge only goes so deep. One may look at figures and speculate what should be heard. But can we absolutely know what IS heard by 100 different people listening to the same music on the same equipment? I don't think so. My $.02 worth.

BTW @atdavid. Have you REALLY posted 367 times since Oct 30., 19? That may be a record.

Geez. No wonder these boards are dead. There are several here who belong over there in Audio Science Review with the rest of the know it alls. Quit the pissing contest. No one has all the answers and that includes science. 

@teo_audio   Add to that the fact that we only have 4% of the universe from which to get answers and you have a real dilemma. I'm often amused at those who talk so confidently of their knowledge. The older I get the more questions arise...though I do remember a time when I was quite sure of my knowledge too.

Hey . Did you hear about how science got music all wrong.

When did science get involved in subjective matters? 😀😀😀😀😀
