Folks,
All sensory perceptions are filtered through our brain of biases and past experiences . That is what subjective implies. This hobby or passion of ours may have different motivations for different people, and those individual choices should all be fine and tolerated. There is no absolute right or wrongs here, and to engage in "argumentum ad hominem" makes no sense....perhaps the late Harry Pearson was correct, in that the "Absolute Sound" is that of the live experience, which I believe can be approached but never equaled in the home listening room. It is all a REPRODUCTION...whatever pleases each of us, and whatever each of us finds "better" or "worse" is fine with me. Perhaps we should chose to say which items we prefer, not which are better....Is one great artist better or worse than another, or does one please us more? I one delicious meal better or worse than another, or does it just please us more? Similar themes, I think....PEACE
