Perceptions are NOT reality. They are just perceptions.

What we perceive is effected buy our self, body, and pre-existing beliefs / needs / fears / mood / etc. It's almost impossible to separate what we believe, what we need to be, and what IS. This is why it is such a vigorous point of discussion (taking the high road here).

Question: How do you determine what is right?

Answer: Measure ALL and see what is truth w/o your own bias.

Question: What happens when the measures don't reveal what you want (or think you hear)?

Answer: Research better measures OR accept that what you perceive is just that (for now) and do what you enjoy. We cannot agree as we are all different individuals with different strengths, weaknesses, AND therefore perceptions.

Question: Why do some NEED to be right?

Answer: Ask my ex.

Einstein was a bit of an old fogey. He would have made a very bad audiophile. You have to learn to trust your senses! There are a great number of audiophiles by my reckoning who don’t really know what they are hearing or where their sound stacks up in the overall scale of things. Everything is relative.
