Telling musicians to evaluate and choose their instruments in a “scientific” way?
I don’t believe it will ever happen.  I don’t believe there will ever be a time when measurements will ENTIRELY explain why audio equipment sounds the way that it does.  Sound, and especially musical sounds, are incredibly complex and are subject ...

tomic601, apology for misinterpreting your comment. Seems you have a great deal of experience with mics. Thanks for sharing. 
How can a system be judged with highly processed, non acoustic music?
