All sciences have questionable edges, that is their nature.
Anyone who does not understand that.... does not understand the concept of science, nor moving forward.
Anything else is dogma and dead.

And no one and no science and no endeavor can properly move forward by driving through viewing the world through the rear view mirror. As that is only half of the story ....and results in dead circular logic.
The future cannot be successfully projected by viewing the dogmatic past aspects of human endeavor. Anyone who understands what the word science means, knows this. Science was delineated, as an act, to specifically avoid this. Science is about proofs ----- but first comes exploration.
No one ever said a company can’t base a product on exploration.
As a matter of fact, such a thing is not all that uncommon, and not just in the world of audio. Not by a long shot.
Audio is about the sonic qualities as heard by the ear, and those are not wholly measurable. This is known. As the correlations and the sciences of all the aspects involved are not fully fleshed out.
The nature of the situation is to have varied levels of hearing ability and varied levels of intellect, varied levels of self awareness, all involved across the whole field of audio.
And we end up with threads like this, where the one set of people gang up and attack another set of individuals.
Individuals who just want to be left alone, as they are tired, to their bones... with the illiteracy that ceaselessly comes after them. No reasoning at all, just the unending ceaseless illiteracy.
Which is why some forums have banned such threads from existing. It is something that Audiogon should consider enacting.
