How is it that quality science fiction or historical fiction is able to magically come alive, this despite a more than decent chance the writer wasn't on the scene, vid-cam or notepad in hand to accurately crunch the details? Why are aesthetics so important to us? Why do numbers so often fail when trying to accurately document emotional responses? Sure, getting high is great, but how is it that such an objectively miserable-tasting potion like Scotch can taste so good?
In other words, escape your objective straitjacket and embrace the subjective. It's what makes art art. Sure, it takes a lot of science to create quality audio gear, but in the end it's the taste of a component's creator(s) that is the straw that stirs the drink.
